Project Spline onto Mesh

[rusteberg]

I have a big topography mesh that I want to project/place splines onto for paths, roadways, etc. Anyone know a clean way of doing something like this in 3D MAX?

Itoo has a pretty good free script for that purpose: https://www.itoosoft.com/freeplugins/glue.php
Using rail clone would be much better though.

The annoying this is Max can do this itself with geometry using the Conform compound object, but not splines, which you'd think would be simpler.

Well you could always conform a tube and then extract one of the loops as spline.

Here you can find 111_scriptedglue, a good script. (And many others...)
