How do I extract the intersection curve of a part and a surface?

ron_moreland

I want the intersection curve of the red surface and the blue part. I can intersect surfaces and surfaces and parts or surfaces and planes. How do I get a surface and part intersection?

Hi Ron - if the surface is closed or extends past the boundaries of the part then you can use Split Face, or if the surface is planar you can use Intersect in sketch.  Another method would be to thicken the surface then Boolean subtract one part from the other to get the intersection. Your example shown above is not possible to do in one operation at present. Hope this helps.
