intersection of surface and curve

Post by Zolko »

Hello,

I'd need to get the resulting point of the intersection between a surface (a cylinder extruded with the Part WB) and a curve (a Sketch). They are both in 3D all around, depending on other parameters. I then would need to re-use the resulting point in a sketch by importing external references. I tried the Part WB (intersection, split...) and the Curves WB (all) and didn't find my solution: is it even possible ?

Alternatively, is it possible to get the curve resulting from the intersection of 2 surfaces ?

PartWB Section, should work also for a curve from two surfaces... The CurvesWB Mixed curve, can give you a curve directly from two curves/sketches.

yes, that worked, thank-you.
