Using the Plane/Surface Intersection Function

Follow the steps below to use the Plane/Surface Intersection spline function.

Using the Function:

1. Select Plane/Surface Intersection from the Create>Advanced Splines submenu. The Plane/Surface Intersection dialog then appears. Configure the available dialog settings.

2. Select the bodies to be intersected click OK/ACCEPT.

3. Select the plane entities to cut the surface bodies, click ACCEPT/OK. The spline is then created.

NOTE: If the "Section with parallel planes" option is chosen, indicate two positions to define a line from which a specified number of planes will be computed to be normal to the line, and evenly spaced from one end point to the other. In this way a large number of parallel section cuts can be made effortlessly made through the surfaces. This can be used to help determine visual fairness of a surface.
