While "Snap-to-Point" feature works quite well on femur, there are areas where local features are not sufficient to reliably detect the desired location

| Problematic boundary for "Snap-to-Point" |
 |
| Typical structure of the edges. Local structure is not sufficient to reconstruct a good snapping location. |
To solve this problem I propose to include additional mechanisms, see figure below.
 |
| "Snap-to-point" would simply snap to a stronger edge within the Snap apperture. This would be incorrect. Instead taking the previous state of the cardinal spline into account, we search for a better snap location. Snap-to Curve would inregrate the edges strength all along the last segment, so the yellow path would be invalidated. And instead more reliable path chosen. |
