2. Click the arrow next to
UV-Curves on the
Create tab and click
UV-Curve through Points. The natural domain of the surface is displayed, along with its trimming boundaries. The
UV-Curve Through Points tab opens and the selected surface is added to the
Surface collector.
3. Select a location on the natural domain of the surface for creating the curve. The pointer snaps to the following entities on the surface:

◦ Vertices of surfaces on the natural or trimmed boundary
◦ Existing UV curves belonging to the same surface
