Hey, i’m designing a bracelet and would like to move the edges ‘unevenly’ (in order to set stones in the space) as you can see in the picture attached.
Is there a solution for this? I tried the ctrl+shift select edge, but it selects the whole edge and i would only need elevation on a small part.
You should do this on surface level before creating the final solid. You will then be able to point edit the gaps. Attached is an example. You see the base surface. The base surface is then split into strips (SplitSrf) and adjusted with point editing to create wider gaps.
Depending on the amount of control points in the V-direction, the edits will be more or less gradual.

Hey Gijs,
Thank you for your answer, that looks great!
When I turn controlPoints on, I only have points on the edges of the surface, and don’t have 2 rows in the middle like you do. -How can I change that? I tried rebuild without success.
When I split the bracelet into 5, and wanna edit the single sets, it still shows edit points on all 5 parts.
In order for this to work, you need to shrink the surfaces (ShrinkTrimmedSrf) and you probably want to have much less control points, so that the edits become more gradual.
alternative:
make a single surface, like the one I posted
use _CreateUVCrv to generate a rectangle and fill that with the curves you want
_ApplyCrv the curves
I thought I was ok good in Rhino, but I don’t think that anymore 
I was about to test the latest alternative, but it’s not working.
Neither can I modify the edge point for a smooth transition.
hi @Eszter_SMid pls share the file (just the surface and curves is enough)
I’ve been mistakenly thinking that myself for the past 25 years, and there is always someone to prove me wrong 
There is always so much to learn…

Seems to work as expected here. I projected the 4 curves to your surface, then _CreateUVCrv
followed by RebuildCrv (15 control points)
then OffsetMultiple (Loose) 0.5 in 2 directions, some point modification, ApplyCrv. Make sure to also select the boundary curves, like I showed in the video
