To Extract User-Defined Spline Curves from Surfaces, Solids, and Faces of Solids

Use the Spline Points option to extract custom curves, not constrained in the U or V directions, from surfaces and solids.

  1. Click Modify menu > 3D Operations > Extract Isolines.
  2. Select a surface, solid, or face.
  3. At the prompt, enter S to create a custom spline curve.

    Begin specifying points on the selected surface, solid, or face.

    As you click, a spline is created that passes through the specified points.

  4. Press Enter to end the command.
