Project lines/edges into a face with the direction normal to the face

      Dears,

      As you can see in the image below, I have two surface bodies with the same curvature (one has been slightly offseted/pulled from the other one).

       

      I would like to create lines in space (as shown highlighted in green in the image below) and project them to both surfaces having always the direction of projection normal/orthogonal to this faces (following their curvature and the normal direction of each point of the faces). Unfortunately, when I use the Project tool, seems that I'm not getting the correct points or corresponce of this lines. In the image below, I highlighted in yellow the projections that do not end in the vertex.

       

      If you have another solution that does not use the Projection tool, it is also welcome, I just need to resolve this issue.

      Hello,

      Here it seems like the face normal for the curved face is not projecting the lines correctly. Would it be possible for you to split surface differently and try different directions for projection?

      You could also try moving the surfaces closer for projecting, or use the imprint tool when the surfaces are touching each other.

      See if any of these methods work for you.

      Thanks and regards,
      Charudatta B
