Hi, In my attempt to create a ‘kinky sweep’ I used the ‘map to surface’ component and I had the impression that a curve that I used as a profile would follow the curvature of the target surface. later I realized that only the control points of the curve are mapped on the surface, resulting in a cu…

Seems to work. [Capture] PullToSrf.gh (8.2 KB)

Wow! Very elegant solution! (I feel ashamed that I didn’t even know about ‘pull curve’. With a little simplification of the curves (it is to be used for sweeping, so simple curves are important) it works amazingly! MapSrf1.gh (11.2 KB) [MapSrf1] The only downside is that you have to include th…

Here even better. Use surface morph. Then you can use bounding on the curve not the control points, and result has much less control points. If you have r6 you can use sporph like @HS_Kim said, haven’t tested what the control point result is for that one but it is a similar component. [Capture] Sr…

I love this forum!!! The problem at hand has already been solved some 10 posts ago but new ideas keep sprouting, each with a different approach and each giving new insights to the use of grasshopper’s tools! (I’ve never thought of extruding a planar bounding box !!!) …one question posed, a hundre…

Except for why on earth the friking ‘boundary surface’ aligns the surface to the curve! :joy: I guess someone from McNeel can answer that!

I have same problem but I try with HS_Kim method it not work My file Map curve on surface rev1.3dm (38.2 KB) Map curve on surface rev1.gh (11.4 KB) [image] [image]

Thank HS_Kim So much, I just use Orient direction and maybe it working [image] [image] Now I want make contour ( two direction on surface ) for loft surface in my file as below, can you have any suggestion Map curve on surface rev2.gh (11.9 KB) [image]

Thank you, It very nice but I want use contour to make curve by distance. And my surface to make contour I need make offset but it not complete in second time in my file Map curve on surface rev4.gh (18.2 KB) [image]

Among other things, not posting a GH file with geometry is deeply wrong.

3. Attach minimal versions of all the relevant files
