This article explains how to use Mesh|Plane to obtain the intersection curve between a mesh and a plane.


On the Grasshopper, it is represented by either of the two above.
Extracting a curve where a mesh intersects a plane or a plane surface
Mesh|Plane can be used to extract a curve where a mesh intersects a plane or a plane surface.
Mesh to be used this time

In this tutorial, we will use the mesh above.
Basic usage of Mesh|Plane

Components used: (1) Mesh (2) XY Plane (3) Mesh|Plane
This is the basic usage of Mesh|Plane.
Connect a mesh to Mesh|Plane(M).
Connect a plane or a plane surface to Mesh|Plane(P).
In this case, we will use XY Plane to create a plane.


The curve at the intersection of the mesh and the plane can now be extracted.
Can be performed on a surface instead of a plane

Components used: (1) Mesh ( 2 ) Surface (3) Mesh|Plane
The extraction can be performed not only on a plane but also on a plane surface.
In this case, a surface set in Surface is connected to Mesh|Plane(P).

Then the curve where the mesh and surface intersect are extracted.
