How to drape 2d element over a surface of multiple triangles

 Area:Surfaces
 Subarea:Legacy Surfaces

Background

I have a model made up of multiple individual triangles in 3D that conforms a pyramid and want to project a 2D drawing onto the multiple triangles so it follows the 3D surface of the pyramid

Steps to Accomplish

  1. In the Visualization Task select the ' Stencil 2D Elements on 3D Geometry ' tool
  2. In the Tool Settings dialog select the icon ' Stencil Selected Elements ' and set the direction to Z
  3. Optional - In the Tool Settings dialog check the ' Remove Original Elements ' thus the 2D drawing is removed. Also set the Surface Offset and Tolerance required
  4. In the Top view select the 2D drawing to project and accept with a data point in the view to project the 2D drawing over the multiple 3D triangles in the Z direction
