Intersect Solid/Surface with Curve

Use it!

(3D only). Used to find the intersection point between a solid/surface and a linear element (curve).

Tool SettingEffect
Intersection Points

If on, locates the intersection point of the curve with the solid/surface.

Normals at Intersections

If on, displays the surface normal at the point of intersection of the curve with the solid/surface.

To construct points and surface normals at the intersection of a line with a solid
  1. Select the Intersect Solid/Surface with Curve tool.

  2. Turn on Intersection Points and Normals at Intersections.

  3. Identify the solid.

  4. Identify the line.

  5. Accept.

    Constructing points and surface normals at the intersection of a line with a solid.

      

    Above: Identify the solid (1) and the line (2).

    Below: Accept to construct the points and surface normals.
