Roll a 2d shape-unfolded elevation on a 3d curved surface

I am currently working on a project and i need to roll an unfolded elevation to the original curved surface. I am trying to find a command that does the opposite of "unroll developable surface". Is there a way to wrap (proportionally) a 2d shape on a 3d surface or curve? Trim surfaces by curves - project Curve is not valid for my case since it is only projecting not curving..

Your assistance highly appreciated!

Thank you,

Maria

  • Take a look at  the visualisation tools > Stencil 

    It projects or drapes a  2d object onto a 3d surface....

    I know its weird to look there and you'd never think of it  but once you found it  or been shown then you'll never forget because its so wierd  for it not to be called drape...

    The help actually  is very good on this tool...

    FYI If you'd posted a dgn example we could have tested them first to see if your objects were compatible for the  tool .... but it should work if your elements are really 2d object and a 3d surface

  • If you just need to see this rendered in a view, then another option is to create a cell from the 2d graphics, and create a material using the cell as a geometry map, this can then be applied to the 3D surface. Note the display style used in the view will need to have the option to display Geometry Maps turned on.
