I created nodes on the edge of a surface. However, when I try to select them by path, HM does not recongnize them as connected to each other. Why is it? In what situation nodes are considered as connected?

    'By path' selection works for nodes in mesh, e.g. pick node 1, 2 in mesh as below and it will pick the nodes between

    I was trying to mesh the surface. However the curvature is too big (spiral). Therefore I create nodes along the two edges first. 

    I that case, is there any other way I can mesh the surface?

    You should be able to just increase the mesh density (decrease element size)? or if necessary, you can split the surface into smaller sections, can you share the CAD/geometry?
