Intersection Curve

- (Narrator) When trying to leverage existing Geometry, using the inner section curve can also be a really powerful function. Let's just run through really quickly how this works. If you hover over the feature it says it creates a sketch curve along the inner section of planes, solid bodies, and surface bodies. So here I've got two pieces of Geometry that I've made. A square and a circle that are part of this boss. If I go to the front plane and start a new sketch, click on inner section curve. I can now select the faces that intersect with my plane that I'm sketching on. If I go ahead and click okay, I now have a sketch entity where the Geometry of this box intersects with my sketch plane. So now if I go in and try to check out the file references on these parts, you'll see that it says at intersection of two faces and that's this face and the face of the sketch plane which in this case is my front plane which runs through the center of these two parts. So that's a pretty powerful…
