Intersection

The Intersection command allows you to create the intersection curve between one (or several) face(s) of a shape and the sketch plane.

Creation stages / Use:

Click the icon or select the 2D Sketch > Other Modifications > Intersection... command from the drop-down menu.

Select the sketch's support plane.
Select the intersection type.

creates all intersection curves between a shape and the sketch plane.

creates intersection curves between several faces and the sketch plane.

Select the shape or faces, depending on the option chosen above.
Validate the creation of the intersection curve with the button.

Only the shapes or faces that cross the sketch plane can obtain an intersection curve.
An intersection constraint is created between each selected faces and the sketch plane.
In some case like cylindrical faces for example, a rotative picking allows to select the cylindrical face (then the result of the intersection will be a circle or an ellipse), or the cylinder axis (then the result will be a point).

Examples:

Example of intersection between faces (in cyan color) and the sketch plane (in blue).

Example of intersection between the axis of a cylindrical face and the sketch plane, the intersection point is displayed in red in the center of the picture.

Modifications / Additional information:

The intersection constraints created by this command can be edited, then you will be able to choose new geometries.
