How to add fixed point (or nodes) equally spaced on a curved surface

Hi all,

I have one quarter of a frame with a flange. The flange (the surface without the 2 holes) is connected to the skin through several rivets. I have to create the fixed points for these rivets, equally spaced on a curved surface ( I added some red dots to give you an idea of what I need). Any hint?

    Hi,

     

    if you have already a line in place, you can use this tool:

    or using the old quick edit panel >> add point on line.

    Both cases you need to have a line/edge first. You could create it using the 'washer split' function from your existing line to create an offset line.
