create curve from two vertex and over defined surface

otaolafr

Hello,
I am looking for a correct solution to solve this problem:
I have two vertexes that are part of a body(grey) and more specifically to the surface green, I could like to be able to recreate the edge highlighted by using only, the vertexes and the surface itself (without using the previously created edge).
I can achieve this by creating a bridging curve and matching the tagency to the original edge but this uses the original edge when what I am looking to do is create it.
something like this (in logic): having the two vertexes, the surface of the green cylinder from that two inputs, create a line that is placed over the surface of the cylinder and connects the two vertexes by the minimum distance.


best regards

I don't think there's going to be a clean solution to this since there are so many possible curves on the surface between those points. Here's one approach using a projected curve pulled to the face. It get's close, but I don't know how precise you need it to be.
