I am having trouble placing curved semilandmarks through resampling. After creating my curve and resampling (making sure to select constrain to surface), the new curve is beneath the model.

Also, I am unsure of how to place surface semilandmarks only on the distal articular surface. I am not sure if I need to combine the landmarks into a single dataset or place the curved semilandmarks first to delineate the surface I want covered.
