Cross curves

In Solid Edge there is a feature called cross curves. If you are to draw a sketch on the front plane and then tangent to that draw a sketch on the top plane you can use the cross curve command to create the combination of the 2 to form a 3D curve. Is there something like this in OnShape?

Currently, the only way to do this is to extrude a surface from your first curve, then use the second curve to split the surface. You can then use the edge of the surface as your composite curve.Senior Director, Technical Services, EMEA0

Onshape cannot create 3D sketches yet, but you can create your curve using the technique shown above.Senior Director, Technical Services, EMEA0

Thank you for your help. I look forward to when Onshape will be able to create 3D sketches.3
