I would like to project a spiral on a curved surface in order to make an equisse that I could then use as a base for a material removal by scanning.
I tried with the "projected curve" function on the surface but impossible to select my spiral. Do you have an idea of how to do it?
Thank you for your help...
your spiral is flat on the same plane
so you put your spiral on a plane offset from your curved surface
and you project it on the surface and it should work
Show us pictures of your parts
Thank you

I had put an attachment but it didn't follow the question. So here she is again.
A tutorial had been proposed but it doesn't seem to answer my problem unless I didn't understand something...

Hello
I think you need to convert your spiral curve to a sketch by converting the entities. I haven't tested it but it seems to me to be a lead.

you have to convert your propeller to another sketch so that it becomes black
and then you project

Too easy, thanks to Coyote and gt22 for their super fast responses.
Why hadn't I thought of it before?!
