Map a set of curves to a surface

Hi all,

I am trying to project a set of curves (which have been joined to form one curve) onto a set of surfaces. I have used the map to surface component, however, despite the curve mapping to a surface, it appears to be mapping to the original surface, and not the new surface that I cut from the original surface. Please see the 2 screenshots below.

I did try surface morph, however, that has given me even more complications.

First and foremost, am I using the most appropriate component? Otherwise any suggestions or tricks of the trade would be very much appreciated.

I know that similar questions have been asked before, however, I seem to be having some trouble getting the component working the way I would like it.

Cheers,

Hi Brianna,

the problem in this case is that surface split doesn't shrink the surfaces. So if you bake them and then turn on the control-points, you'll see that your bottommost layer of twisted cylinders is still as big as before. The Map to Surface component ignores the trims and takes the entire UV space into account.
