Intersection Curve opens a sketch and creates a sketched curve at the following kinds of intersections:
- A plane and a surface or a model face.
- Two surfaces.
- A surface and a model face.
- A plane and the entire part.
- A surface and the entire part.
You can use the resulting sketched intersection curve in the same way that you use any sketched curve, including the following tasks:
- Measure thickness at various cross sections of a part.
- Create sweep paths that represent the intersection of a plane and the part.
- Make sections out of imported solids to create parametric parts.
To use the sketched curve to extrude a feature, the sketch that opens must be a 2D sketch. Other tasks can be performed using a 3D sketch.
- To open a 2D sketch, select the plane first then click Intersection Curve.
- To open a 3D sketch, click Intersection Curve first then select the plane.
