I would like to get just the profile curve from a landscape mesh to use as an extrusion line. Dup edge demands that I pick every edge manually, there are thousands of them, the mesh is super dense… mesh outline flattens the curve but I need the Z axis variety.
it seems like there must be a command for this.
Hi ATH- use DupBorder for this.

Do you think it’s weird that I didn’t know that? I do.
thanks!
Only if you think it’s weird that you have not memorized 800 commands, or whatever it is… =)

I am going to ask here, because it is very much related:
I am trying to duplicate the borders of mesh triangles. I am using DupBorder, but it doesn’t seem to want to work if I select the whole mesh. It always says “No border duplicated”. If I enable sub-objects and select just a few mesh faces, it works. What am I doing wrong?
Then I am also interested in duplicating ALL borders. I don’t just want the outline of the selection, I basically want to have what wireframe mode shows, but as curves. Is there a function for this or would I have to do this in Grasshopper?
This is in Rhino 8.26.25349
The same happens if I select the original test object:
Again, not sure if this is a bug or I am just missing something.
