Objective: Learn how to extract the curve that runs through the whole channel.
Extract Isocurve
Go to the “Curve” tab and use the “Extract Isocurve” command.
If the isocurve is oriented in the wrong direction, you can change it from the command bar. In this case we need the isocurve in the U direction.
Click on the Intersection
With the help of OSnap, click on the central intersection point of the channel. Clicking creates a curve that goes through the entire element, which is what will help us position the gemstones.
Move the curve to another layer.
