  "Snap group to surface"

  If You start this command while holding the Shift key down , a settings dialog appear. The dialog has two new options

   

  "Use CP normals"

  if this checkbox is checked , the cp normals are used for computation instead of the patch normals

   

  "Try reverse direction, if no hit"

  if this checkbox is checked and no intersection is found, a second try with negated normaldirection is done for intersection checking additonal change if no patch is in the group (single spline as example) the normal direction is calculated from the cp position and the group center point (direction looking to the group center)
