project to surface error with sphere

[j2]

Hi Forum,

can anybody help me? I want to project some lines on a spherical surface. But the line that ends exactly on the mid of the sphere causes an error, see screenshot.

Mathematically it should work. What is wrong?

what usually causes errors in project to surface workflow is that by defaul projection mode set to "closest point" and usually this is not what needed.

I'd try to change it to "along vector" then select vector to project along and try again

Hi Pavel,

thank you for your advice. I intended to use "closest point".
