can you extract U-V grid as curves?
(OP)
I'm sorry if it's an easy question, but it would be helpful to have for an imported solid model I have.

To an Engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

However, if you only want to see your solid 'displayed' as U/V curves you can do that by changing your display to 'Static Wireframe' and then using the Edit Object Display, set the number of U & V curve in 'Wireframe Display'.
Now if you want actual curves as separate objects, you will need to go to...
Insert -> Curves from Bodies -> Extract...
...and select the 'Isoparametric Curve' button and then, one face at a time, you can select the faces and create as many U or V curves as you wish (I said it was tedious).

I've used it many times when rebuilding tubes and wires from imported data.
Is there an easier way now?
