Mapping faces from a plane onto another plane

I'm trying to make a function that "wraps" a plane onto a plane or onto a curved surface. It works for curved surfaces :
const targetWrap is WrapSurface = makeWrapSurface(context, definition.target); const sketchPlane is Plane = evOwnerSketchPlane(context, { "entity" : definition.faces }); var result is Query = qNothing(); if (!isWrapPlane(context, targetWrap)) { opWrap(context, id + "map", { "wrapType" : WrapType.TRIM, "entities" : definition.faces, "source" : makeWrapPlane(sketchPlane), "destination" : targetWrap }); result = qCreatedBy(id + "map", EntityType.BODY); } else { const targetPlane is Plane = evPlane(context, { "face" : definition.target }); const moveFaces is Query = qEntityFilter(definition.faces, EntityType.FACE); const planemap is Transform = transform(sketchPlane, targetPlane); debug(context, moveFaces, DebugColor.RED); opMoveFace(context, id + "map", { "moveFaces" : moveFaces, "transform" : planemap, }); result = qCreatedBy(id + "map"); }
The result when extruding the query `result` is somewhat strange (moved from a plane to an offset plane) .
I'm sure there's an obvious solution, but for now I don't have a clue.

If your goal is to transform the letters from the cSys of sketchPlane to the cSys of targetPlane, then moveFace() isn't probably what you want. Look at opTransform().
