FINDING PATH ON A TOPOGRAPHY

Hi, im working with a topography in a mesh, i have a surface that gets close to it, but the mesh is the most accurate.

I want to find the most confortable paths from point A lets say on top of it to point B on the lower point of it. I was trying some solutions that i found in this blog but no one seems to work.

i attached a picture of the problem, and an example of a solution (paths in blue)

thanks a lot!

I see that finally you got it > bravo. And the "trimming" mesh did the job eh?

Other than that ... by "comfortable":you mean that you want a geodesic path? If yes you need to go back to the Future: a nurbs out of the mesh (doable with a variety of ways).

Or you mean that you want to design a road (with all the usual restrictions: slope etc) between A-B? If so ... this is NOT a task for a novice by any means (better skip that, he he) not to mention that there's dedicated apps that do that for you (Bentley Systems InRoads is the best).
