SUMMARY
=======
 
This article offers a method for projecting a NURBS curve on a NURBS face.
 
The standard operation Draw -> Project NURBS on Surface will not work in
this case because you are projecting a curve on a face and not on a
surface. To accomplish this successfully, use the following steps:
 
1. Make a duplicate of your NURBS face
 
2. Convert the duplicate into a Polygon face.
 
3. Use the ShrinkWrap function to project the curve onto the polygon face.
 
4. Delete the Polygon face.
