curves on surface

[UGMENTALCASE]

Hi all I'm a newie on here.

I have a surface which i would like to have curves all over it, a little bit like a wireframe effect. I want mainly a curve right down the edge of the surface in the picture. Any help would be great!

You can try Insert>Curve from Bodies>Extract Curves>Isoparametric Curves with the curve count set to one and the percentages set to 50. If the curve is in the wrong direction, try the opposite Constant. This may not work well if the face is not defined by hard edges.

It does not look like your faces are defined by hard edges, ugmentalcase.

No there are no hard edges, this is the problem I think. Its scanned/GOM data. I'l try the insert method see how far I get.
