intersectSurface node

Go to: Related nodes. Attributes.

Compute the intersection curve(s) given two surfaces. 2D results are output in curveOnSurface1 (for curves on first surface) and curveOnSurface2 (for curves on second surface if needed). 3D results are output in output3dCurve (if needed). Both 2D and 3D results are not available, only one type depending on how the node was connected.
