Maya: create edge, along a curve, onto a mesh

goekbenjamin

Is it possible to create edges (like the knife tool) along a curve onto a mesh?

(curve created while mesh was "live")

"Project Curve on Mesh" creates 2 curves, and that is not desirable since I want to automate the steps above.

Any idea how this is achievable?

Project curve on mesh is the way to go. I dont know any other way.

you could tecnhnically select only one of the projected curves and split the mesh. from what i remember it would only cut the selected project curve and ignore the other one
