The InfinitePlane command offers a way to intersect any plane with objects to return curves or points. This includes construction planes, planar surfaces geometry, and planes defined on-the-fly.

Steps

At the prompts, select planar object to use for creating a pseudo-infinite plane: a planar curve, surface, polysurface face, a single polygon mesh, a clipping plane, a named construction plane, or draw a plane.
