Outer edges of the surface projected to the plane.

[al_inventor]

Create 2D sketch environment, the outer edges of the surface projected to the plane made. Especially when working with data that is imported from abroad, to project edge of the surface of the plane being troublesome. Generation, surface edges Manually one by one, describes the projected distance between the edges remain. Process therefore be applied to the edges is projected. Thus obtained from sketch, solid or surface model can not be created. This data imported from abroad using the form on the surface of the mold male and female form, the fixture can not be obtained form the surface of the situation brings.

This is accomplished by starting a 3D sketch and then using the silhouette curve command. You can then project this 3D curve onto a 2d Plane.  It sounds like that is what you are trying to create.
