Intersection points on surface

[Anonymous]

Hello to everyone,

I am trying to get points on surface in intersections of two planes and surface and to rotate them in xy plane. You can see in the attached file. After that I want to export points from xy plane into excel. I will be very appreciate if someone knows or has vba code for getting points in intersections and rotate them to particular plane.  Thanks in advance.
I am using Inventor 2017.

Regards

Can anyone help me at least to get points on surface?

Hi Vladimir,

There should be multiple ways to find the vertices. Here is a way using the least number of features.

1) Move EOP to right below Work Plane2.

2) Create a sketch on Work Plane2 -> draw a rectangle roughly as large as Work Plane2.

3) Create a Boundary Patch based on the rectangle.

4) Move EOP to below Circular Pattern1. Edit the pattern and select the BP surface to pattern instead of Work Plane2.

5) Stitch the patterned surfaces.

6) Create a sketch on YZ plane -> draw a rectangle slightly bigger than the surface.

7) Create a Boundary Patch based on the rectangle.

8) Move EOP to below Rect Pattern1. Edit the pattern and select the newly created BP surface to pattern instead of YZ plane.

9) Repeat step5.

10) Split -> pick the stitched surface created in step5 -> pick the deleted face surface body -> All Faces.

11) Repeat step10 for the other stitched surface.

Now the surface body should be split accordingly and the vertices are created as a result.

Many thanks!

Thank you johnsonshiue for your reply, but I want to put points on surface in every section of two planes and if I do that myself it will take a lot of time. I would like to VBA do that for me (to put points on surface in every sections of planes and if it is possible to rotate them in XY plane and export coordinates to Excel).

Thanks again!
