How to use
- Select the face you want to project to.
- The projection direction
- When entering the function, the current camera direction is used for the projection direction
- To change the direction, use the camera direction to get your projection direction and press "Get current camera direction"
- Or press X:,Y:,Z: to toggle the direction x=1,x=-1,y=1,y=-1,z=1,z=-1
- Choose what kind of shape you want to add to your projection object.
- Add Face: Select a face you want to add.
- Add wire: Select a edge. The algorithm takes the wire the edge belongs to and adds it to the projection object.
- Add edge: Select a edge. The selected edge is added to the projection object.
- Choose the what kind of shape you like to create.
- Show all: Shows if possible the projected solid object.
- Show faces: Shows if possible the projected face object.
- Show edges: Shows the projected edge object.
- Extrude height is the value the solid is extrude along the reversed projection direction.
- Solid depth is the value the projection object is moved along the projection direction.
- When you are finish with the projection object hit "OK" and the projection object is created.
