Intersection of Meshes

The MeshIntersect command creates a polyline at the intersection of mesh objects.

Steps

Command-line options

Tolerance
Auto

Uses a tolerance that is more suitable for well-drawn meshes created using document tolerances. The value is computed using heuristics.

Literal

Uses document tolerances. This might not be the best value because meshes often have tiny features that might fall well below the document tolerance.

CoplanarFaces
Drop

Discards coplanar overlaps.

Polylines

Creates polylines from the boundaries of coplanar overlaps.

Meshes

Creates meshes from coplanar overlaps.
