One of the first things I do when I import a part is create a new layer called 'Lines'. In that layer I extract all from solid (It might be extract all edges or something like that).
If there is a specific profile that I am working on, I will create a layer named after whatever profile that I am working on. Then in that layer I create a plane somewhere in space above or below the part (wherever it makes sense), then I extract the specific lines of the profile to that plan. That feature is in Other -> Extract to Plane (or something similar).
I wrote this form memory so hopefully I got the names of the features correct.
I hope this helps!
