Some time ago I wrote another article in this blog, about rotating a model object in Revit in 3 different axes.

The challenge is to find a method to project a spline that is designed flat at the reference level, onto a curved, sloped surface. The projection needs to meet two requirements: 1) The resulting 3d spline must be hosted at the surface, and 2) The resulting 3d spline must be similar ...
