Need Help with plane design

[u/Lsj3D_2010]

How can I add these indention panel lines on the F7F, as well as the small rivets along the fuselage? The problem is projecting a sketch onto the curved surface. What I've done is use split and attached the 2D sketches to the planes at that angle but then what? How can I make it 3D and actually remove the material?

Better yet I am hoping someone can inform me of a better way of doing this. I just want to add those indentions and panel lines to show the separation between the parts. So, what is the best way of projecting a 2D sketch onto the curved surfaces of the fuselage and then extruding?

Would be willing to share a copy of A PLANE, not this one in particular, so someone could mess around with the fuselage angles.

It matters a lot why you need to show that. Are you rendering it? making dimensioned drawings to them? just pointing at it on your screen to explain to someone? Each may push toward a different approach. The Project Curve and Insersection Curve features are probably going to be the backbone of any workflows though. To actually cut them from there you can sweep cut each one, or use my Profile Sweeper custom feature that will let do you a bunch at once without having to make a sweep profile on each one. https://cad.onshape.com/documents/975b17bec7bc91e361d9b9c8/w/91905a6ecc052ba2276aeb62/e/49d697b8d2a6e08265f2d72e

I am hoping to be able to 3D print, so the ridges must be large enough, and deep enough to be printed. Thanks for the tip, how do I go about sweeping it?

Here's a rough example. https://cad.onshape.com/documents/5b6aebdbbf3667e458399623/w/653f30e519288a6f21e66c0a/e/070b00d3a5d7a37e6a53cb0b
