intersect [-caching boolean] [-constructionHistory boolean] [-curveOnSurface boolean] [-firstSurface boolean] [-name string] [-nodeState int] [-object boolean] [-tolerance linear]
[surface] [surface]
intersect is undoable, queryable, and editable.
The intersect command creates a curve on surface where all surfaces
intersect with each other. By default, the curve on surface is created
for both surfaces. However, by using the -fs flag, only the first
surface will have a curve on surface. Also, the intersection curve
can be created as a 3D curve rather than a curve on surface.

Properties |
|
-firstSurface(-fs)
|
boolean
|
 
|
|
Creates a curve-on-surface on the first surface only or
on all surfaces (default).
|
|
-tolerance(-tol)
|
linear
|
|
|
Tolerance to fit to.
Default: 0.01
|
|
| Common flags |
-constructionHistory(-ch)
|
boolean
|
|
|
Turn the construction history on or off.
|
|
-curveOnSurface(-cos)
|
boolean
|
|
|
If possible, create 2D curve as a result.
|
|
-name(-n)
|
string
|
|
|
Sets the name of the newly-created node. If it contains
namespace path, the new node will be created under the
specified namespace; if the namespace does not exist, it
will be created.
|
|
-object(-o)
|
boolean
|
|
|
Create the result, or just the dependency node.
|
|
| Advanced flags |
-caching(-cch)
|
boolean
|
|
|
Modifies the node caching mode. See the node documentation for more information.
Note: For advanced users only.
|
|
-nodeState(-nds)
|
int
|
|
|
Modifies the node state. See the node documentation for more information.
Note: For advanced users only.
