Does anyone know an easy way to project all the points in a group to a plane?

I have a group of points (a plane for example) and I want to project them all to a plane (simplest case == WORKPLANE). Is there some smart way to do it all at once (a.k.a. "the JEFMAN way") or is it only possible with a loop? I haven't found anything yet...

The object of this is to create a secondary tangent plane perpendicular to the primary by the following method:

- measure the secondary plane
- project all points up/down to the primary (WORKPLANE)
- construct a tangent plane from the original plane points + the projected points (guaranteed to be perpendicular to the primary as that is our projection direction)

As a follow-up question: How can I use an ARRAY variable in the same way as .HIT[...] in the construction of a tangent plane?

  • I also tried :
    ASSIGN/V1=MPOINT(1,1,0)
    then create a feature set with SCN1.HIT[1..SCN1.NUMHITS]*V1, which is exactly the projection on Z plane, but it doesn't work Disappointed.
    I also tried using a COP, no more effect.

    I believe that the solution is in a script...
    But I'm waiting solution like a child about Santa Klaus !!!!!
