Project Nodes

Hey all,

I have a question about the project nodes function. I would like to project nodes from one mesh to a different surface, and then mesh that surface around those nodes using 2d shells. Right now, when I project nodes, the 2d automesher does not respect them and creates its own mesh reardless of the projected nodes.

My problem is that I have a T-connection. I am using 2d shells, so the intersectino between my 2 beams must have 1-to-1 node connectivity. It seems easiest to mesh one beam and then project the nodes from that beam to the other beam to get the 1-to-1 node connectivity. Can anyone tell me how I can do this?

Thanks a lot,

Ed Mueller
