Jamie Hamel-Smith covers how to convert an objects components in Cinema 4D to a spline, showing how to extract a selection of edges into a spline.

This tip focuses on the relatively simple task of converting some edges to a spline

Being able to convert selected components into construction objects such as a spline or a curve can be an immense help in modeling, and even in animation. Jamie notes that although converting an edge to a spline in C4D is an easy task, it may not be immediately clear, or intuitive.

Also of relevance is Jamie’s look at projecting a spline on another surface in Cinema 4D. Check out the tutorial for Converting Edges to Splines in Cinema 4D here.
