Hi.

I'm trying to figure out how to "bend" my workplane to fit any given surface.

For example to fit solar panels to a curved roof (pictures)

any ideas / solutions ?

 Thx

jw

Create those panels in a "Generic Face Based" family...

Obviously a plane is always flat  ... that's why it's called a plane.

Fitting flat surfaces against a curved surface is always a problem ... including in real life.  If these elements are not set to always vertical, maybe you can polar array them if that is an arc that you can define.   Otherwise - adjust them visually to a best fit?
