Converting a Surface into a Base Plane

Hello,

 

Do any of you know how to convert a freeform surface into a base plane?

I am trying to project a grid onto a surface.

A Grid component has a P-input, which stands for Base plane for grid, so I thought that if I could convert a surface into a base plane and then connect this into the Grid's P-input then the grid would be projected onto the surface.

If anyone knows how to convert a surface into a base plane or if you know a simpler and better way then please let me know.

 

Thank you

Marios

    There is project component to project curves onto a brep... but maybe this  is what your are looking:

    You can use the grid points as uv coordinates to evaluate the target surface.
