Trim Delaunay edges on 3D surface

ok, so maybe this makes more sense, i’ve used the methods you’ve described and put it onto the mesh. If you can find a better way to put the circles on the mesh that would be greatly appreciated, but the main thing that I wonder is now, how can i get the rings to go between the circles on the mesh vertically? as it doesn’t work as I did before on the surface version.

The pattern has been culled because on the larger lines I intend to put circles in chains.

Also if the end of the rings can have the hole attached to the surface of the circles that would be good to know as it again is not working on the mesh the way it worked on the surface.

Many Thanks again for the help so far.
