Summary

Creates curves, typically in the U and V directions, on a surface, a 3D solid,

or a face on a 3D solid.

The curves can be a lines, polylines, arcs, or splines based depending on the

shape of the surface or 3D solid.

List of Prompts

The following prompts are displayed.

Select a Surface, Solid, or Face Select a surface, 3D solid, or face of a 3D solid.

Select point on surface or [Chain/Direction/Spline points] Click to extract

curves, or choose an option. By default, isoline curves in the U direction are

selected.

Chain Displays isolines across adjacent faces if the faces are parameterized in

the same direction.

Direction Change the tracking direction (U or V) of isoline curve extraction.

Spline Points Dynamically tracks in both U and V directions to create a spline

that passes through all specified points on the surface.
