Recipe 8 — Project Points

What: Ray-cast points onto a surface/brep along a direction vector (usually Z-down).

Zone Map: [Points][Geometry] → [Project Point]

Pipeline

[Points]          [Geometry]          [Direction / Unit Z]
(source)          (target surface)      (ray direction)

    └──────────────────┼────────────────────┘

              projected  index of face
              on surface  hit (-1 = miss)

Output

3D points lying on the target geometry surface(s).

Next Steps

→ After Recipe 7: generate points above → project onto wavy surface for terrain-following · Pull Point for closest-point params · Evaluate Surface for normal-aligned objects on complex surfaces
