You're better off using the freeform graphite tools> draw on surface> splines

No, but it only applies to the intial click on creation so is useless for spline creation. Turning on 3d snap - face mode -will do it for you.

mm mok I looked into it but I found not how to make it actually .. .may be you can tell me how to ?

Basically I have a mesh rock and I want to make over a root vine entangling it , without wasting too much time manually moving vertices ... tried also ivy generator , but creates too many ivy and too much random , I wand just to create some entangling roots where I want and then somehow ( yet dunno how ^^ ) make an adapted plane mesh to this root stuff and render over it if is possible so to have a kind of texture of roots , ivy , lianas and other stuff I can apply ingame over the rocks .
