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:

To Create a Point at the Intersection of a Line and Plane:

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

  2. Select the line, then the plane and the Construct New point dialog will appear.

  3. 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).

  4. Click the OK button.
