Intersection between a surface and a line
A small workaround:
Extrude the line (as surface) in any direction a small amount. Trim this extruded surface at the lofted surface. Find the coordinates of the appropriate endpoint of the trimmed surface.
See an example video.

- Use thicken (on a copy of the surface) and give the surface a thin thickness.
- Using cylinder pick one end of the line for the base, specify a small value for the radius, then enter the letter A (for Axis endpoint) and pick the other end of the line.
- Make a copy of the thickened surface with a displacement of 0,0,0 (coincident with itself).
- Give the Boolean subtract command and click one of the thickened surfaces then [Enter] and then click the cylinder. The result will be a gap in the cylinder where the line intersects. The intersection point is the midpoint of the gap.
