Line and Cylinder Intersection

You can create a point at each intersection of a line and cylinder. The cylinder and line need not physically intersect, since cylinders and lines are treated as infinite in length. However, the line must pass within the cylinder’s radius.

  1. From the menu, select Construct> New Points>Intersection>Line and Cylinder Intersection.

  2. Select the line, then the cylinder. A naming dialog appears.

  3. Specify the desired collection, group, and point names (or select an existing collection and group from the dropdown).

  4. Click OK to create the point.
