Trimming a line to a 3D surface

[Greendamo]

Hi,

 

Can you trim or break a line where it meets a 3d surface? i'm using Acad 2013.

 

Thanks in advance.

I uploaded a tutorial to the Chronicle site that shows a technique for trimming a line to the surface of a 3D Solid. The technique works just as well for Shape Manager Surface entities.

Nice technique! Chronicle is a nice touch, I'm just not sure how permanent the links will be?

 

I know I saw a lisp that would BREAK 2D objects where they pierced a 3D objects (it may have only worked with planar surfaces/faces though).... can't seem to find it now though.

I've used Chronicle a couple of times - there is a bit "value added" for AutoCAD above that of Jing. I don't know if the site will have the same staying power. I can say, though, that the writers are still actively developing the platform. Each time I've used it there has been refinement updates ready for install.
