Line and Plane Intersection
You can intersect a line with a plane to create a point at the intersection.
The image below shows a line and plane intersection creating a point, even though their depictions do not intersect. Remember that all geometry in SA are infinite.
There are a few things to keep in mind:
-
The line and plane need not physically intersect, since planes and lines are treated as infinite in size.
-
If the line lies in the plane, or the line is parallel to and not in the plane, no points will be created.
To Create a Point at the Intersection of a Line and Plane:
-
From the menu, select Construct> New Points>Intersection>Line and Plane Intersection.
-
Select the line, then the plane and the Construct New point dialog will appear.
-
Leave the coordinates as-is (they are calculated for you), and specify the desired collection, group, and point name (or select an existing collection or group from the dropdown).
-
Click the OK button.
