Houdini edge selection to curve
🕑 Added 2020-05-04 11:17:26 +0000 UTCIn 3ds max it's a matter of hitting a button, well not in Houdini it had to be difficult, but dont forget that it's procedural so if you mesh is deforming you'll get a deforming line as well ;)
One thing to mention is that this method might produce overlapping curves, so just add a delete sop to clean it out.

Thanx Paweł for enriching the topic ❤️️
You can also do: - group - convert line - delete not groupped - polypath
OMG, it's called "edgegroup_to_curve", I should explore those tools even further. Thanx for the tip :)

there's an SideFX labs node to do that too :)
