Edge Projection to another Object?

[Bullit]

I have an object and i need that it gets the edges that nearby grid has is this possible to do with ICE modeling ?

In essence projecting the edges of that grid in another geometry since i am not able to get a regular subdivision due to object form.

I thought for example of breaking with a mesh tool like Kratos and filtering the points but that seems a bit absurd before trying a more direct approach.

did you try getting the closest location of each edges ?

I didn't do anything yet, since edges are a bit difficult to get in ICE it is more of a generalist question of how to approach the problem.

hm, do not get what you need. could you show an example?
like nnois said, closest location. or do you mean something like shrink, footprint?

more options: polygonizer, raycast.. depends too much on the actual form, better to send a picture of it

This just an example, the real one is a more complex, a building

The idea is to project those lines from the grid in the object, every polygon of the grid will have different material and this should be replicated into the object. Then i will animate vertexes of those lines in the grid, and replicate that movement in the object, and the edges that are projected into object should not deform the object when they move.

still dont get it, seems to high for me!
only thing that came into my mind is this:

Thanks for reply. Just getting the edges of the grid projected to the object in front. So the object in front would get those edges form too adding to the already existing edges.
