Hi everyone, my name is Aaron and I'm new to solid modeling as my background is in FEA. 

I have a surface I imported as a parametric file into Evolve and I want to use the lines from the imported geometry to complete the outline for my part. It is a bike rim mold and I want to use the outer surface/line of the mold profile to complete the mold model. Is this possible? 

 

Thank you, Aaron

    Hi Aaron,

     

    do you have tried the 'Extract Curve' function (at curve panel or menu->tools->curves->edges/sections->extract curve) ?

     

    Best regards,
