    Macro that repeats for each instance in pattern

    Right, I see it now, will try this. Thanks

    Macro that repeats for each instance in pattern

    That should put me on the right track. A loop over i and j, being the size of the pattern would do the trick. Is there a way to get the size of the pattern?

    Macro that repeats for each instance in pattern

    I can do it manually, selecting one point at a time and projecting it. It would be convenient to use a macro because I have a few thousand points. When I record a macro for one point I will get a macro for repeatedly projecting that point. What I need is to modify the code to allow me to select...

    Macro that repeats for each instance in pattern

    Hi, I'm trying to build a macro, but I am struggling to get started. I want the user to be prompted to select two things: 1) Select a pattern 2) Select a surface Next I want a For-loop that will go through the pattern. The pattern will be a number of points. So, point for point I now want to...

    Trimming and projecting point clouds in CATIA

    It is probably faster to just make a circle and revolve it around an axis outside it. For my trials I've made a 100 mm circle and revolved it around an axis 150 mm from its centre, but you might as well try on a sphere.

    Trimming and projecting point clouds in CATIA

    Hi, I'm trying to figure out how to make a set of evenly distributed points on a curved surface. To simplify, imagine a torus/donut as my surface. The points don't have to be perfectly distributed/evenly spaced. How do I do this? I have approached it in three steps: 1) Generate an even cloud...
