louvers on surface

I need to add some louvers to an imported surface. What is the easiest/quickest way to do this?

that is a tough question to answer given we have no idea what the surface looks like. I would take a crack at building one via extrusion then using a linear/curve driven pattern to replicate it.

    Dileep,
    
    You have to create the spline using the "spline on surface" tool. It does not automatically show up on your toolbar (although you can add it), so look for it under the Tools Menu.
