I am attempting to snap points or lines to multi-face surface features. I realize the 3D AnchoredSnapper does not snap to surfaces. Any thoughts on how to perform this. I would be ok with converting the surface features into lines since that is my ultimate goal. Any thoughts on techniques or transformers?3D points to snap to surface

Hi @fneal​,

You could try converting your surface to a point cloud with the PointCloudCombiner, with a small Point Interval for the best coverage. Then use the PointCloudToPointCoercer to convert the point cloud to individual points. These should be suitable anchors for the 3DAnchoredSnapper.

This isn't the most efficient method, I admit, but it may get you there.
