how to find intersection point between line and plane in CATIA 2

[yashodeep15]

I have a line which passes(intersects) through the surface of the part. I want intersection point between line and that surface/plane.
I am working in part modeling environment.
Please can anyone help me in this??

Hi,
It sounds simple.Switch to geenrative shape design...choose "intersection" option from the insert...wireframe..operations...select the extracted surface (extract the required surface in the solid using the extract option) and the line.you should be getting an intersection point.

Thank you Sudhakaran!
It could be better if I get the intersection point without switching to surface design mode.

Hi Yash,

create a new sketch..Goto sketcher workbench,choose intersect 3d elements,check if you are getting an intersection point and convert that as a standard geometry in sketcher and return to part workbench.try if it works.

any (good) reason why you don't want to switch workbench?

you can be in partdesign and type c:intersection

you can customize catia and bring this function in partdesign so you can click on the icon directly

you can create a script that start the intersection function

you can create a powercopy that create an intersection and instantiate the powercopy
