Hi,
I have the following problem:
I have created a shell using BRepOffsetAPI_ThruSections. I also created a wire from a list of points that is imported from a csv file. The wire is supposed to be projected on the shell, so that a curve is created that is coincident with the shell surface. Is there any way to achieve this with OpenCascade? I know a similar function from Autodesk Inventor (see: https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/inventor-lt/learn-explore/caas/Cl...)
Any hints are appreciated!

There are the following classes for this topic:
BRepAlgo_NormalProjection - for normal projection,
BRepProj_Projection - for cylindrical and conical projections

Thanks for the hint! This should be what I was looking for.
What exactly is defined by "const gp_Dir D" or "const gp_Pnt P" in BRepProj_Projection()?
Unfortunately there is no detailed explanation for the class.
