: SURFACE : Deform:Paste To SurfaceShortcut
: NoneThis command can be used to position a surface onto the target surface, reorienting the pasted surface so that the surface is at right angles to the target surface.
Before executing this command the surface to be pasted must be cut into the object memory by using the OBJECTÞCut command. This command is then issued and clicking with the left mouse button indicates the location of the pasted surface. The pasted surface is then located so that its fixpoint matches that point on the target surface and rotated so that the original Z direction of the pasted surface points out from the target surface. In other words the Z-direction is aligned with the surface normal of the target surface at the paste point.
Since the pasted surface also remains in the object memory this command can be repeated several times if required.
An example of the command can be seen below. A ring has been designed along with a second surface, a jewel. The jewel is then cut into object memory and the ring made the target. The jewel was then pasted three times onto the surface.
