Split: Surfaces

Select any number of points on or close to a single boundary of a surface.  Select the surface and click  splitNOTE:  Although difficult to see, a point just below the second is selected just to the left of the bounding curve, on the interior of the surface.

inter

Surface-Surface Intersection

Select the flat surface and then all of the cylinders and interNOTE:  Two parametric curves (one for each surface) are generated at each intersection.  Also, the quality of the intersection is dependent on the resolution of the surfaces.
