3D Modeling

The Project tool projects a 2D object or NURBS curve onto a NURBS surface, solid, or subdivision object, and then splits or trims the solid object according to the region selected. This allows nonlinear splitting or trimming of objects to create different shapes or cut a hole in an object.
