Change spacing/direction of lines on surface

[ct.rhino (CT)]

Hi,

I am wondering if it is possible to change the spacing/direction/density of isocurves in the surface below:

They won’t be straight, just drawing the general intended direction. They should be normal to the curves somehow.

Thanks for any advice.

Please give it a try with Network Surface,

Thanks for any advice.

Both Isotrim and Isocurves depend on surface construction so they’re an as-is result.

For something like this you can form lines like @jessesn showed you, though depending on the surface that can be problematic (reminds me of this thread).

So, another alternative is to grab a ‘mid axis’ curve (tween curve between your longest edges), construct perpendicular intersecting surfaces (instead of using just planes, brep | brep intersection is faster than plane | brep), and generate your lines:
