NetworkSrf failing on my robot torso wireframe. How can I create a smooth surface matching these isocurves?

​Hi everyone,

​I'm currently modeling a robot's abdominal section in Rhino and I've run into a bit of a wall.

​I've laid out a wireframe where all the curves intersect and are G2 (curvature) continuous. My goal is to create a single, smooth surface where the resulting surface isocurves align perfectly with this wireframe.

​The Problem:

I tried using NetworkSrf, but it’s failing to generate the surface (or the result is messy/not following the curves correctly). I want to make sure the final surface maintains that clean, organic flow seen in the reference image.

​What I'm looking for:

​Why might NetworkSrf be failing even though my curves intersect?

​Is there a better workflow for this? Should I be looking at Patch, Loft with custom splits, or perhaps a SubD approach?

​How can I ensure the surface isocurves stay true to my hand-drawn wireframe?

​I've attached my wireframe sketch and the reference robot design for context. Any advice on the best surfacing strategy here would be greatly appreciated!

​Thanks in advance!
