I am having trouble using PROJECTGEOMETRY on a 2d shape against a 3d solid accurately. I have a piece of Velcro that I want to make a curved cavity for. The purpose is to join a dimensioned Velcro piece onto a plastic cover, like a jig/fixture. My results are coming out distorted, the cavity is smaller and doesn’t allow the Velcro to fit inside. How???

Provide your drawing with the 3D and 2D geometry.

Hello Valentin,
I attached a short clip of the PROJECTGEOMETRY, this is what i want however, i need to figure out how to make the projection to scale; 3D printed model with the projection command but the cavity is stretched rather than a natural bend into the 3D model. Could there be a different way to bend the 2d profile.
Thanks for the help!
Kind regards,
Perhaps something like this??
Regards
Jochen

PROJECTGEOMETRY is limited on projecting to scale. I thought about "Parametric", but this is a technology that is used for designing with constraints, which are associations and restrictions applied to 2D geometry. (Link)
I believe another Autodesk software could be more suitable - something like Inventor (See Bend Command) or Revit.

Would it be more accurate to say you want to "wrap" and not "project" the 2D geometry onto a cylinder? If so then if the length of the 2D shape is L and the radius of the cylinder is R then S = L and the angle subtended is S/R radians.
Good morning,
yes, in this case it seems more of a wrapping Of the 2d shape but the method remains unknown. Any ideas?
thanks for all the help!
