From the Shape section of the action bar,
click Intersection.
In the First Element and Second Element boxes, select the elements to be intersected.
The intersection is displayed.
Note:
Multi-selection is available on the
first and second selection, that is you can select multiple elements to be intersected
and multiple intersecting elements. For example, you can select a whole geometrical
set.
Choose the intersection type to be displayed.

Click OK to create the intersection element.
This element (identified as Intersect.xxx)
is added to the tree.

Regenerate Deleted Intersection Outputs
You can regenerate the deleted intersection outputs at any stage of the design by
editing the multi-output feature. This is useful when the intersection is cancelled due to
design modifications and you want to recover the earlier outputs.
Before you begin: Import a 3D shape where at least one of the intersection output is
deleted.
Double-click the multi-output feature in the tree.
The Intersection Definition dialog box
appears.
Select the Regenerate all deleted features check box.
Important:
The Regenerate all deleted features check box appears
whenever the multi-output feature has fewer children compared to the result of
number of features in the First Element box multiplied by
the number of features in the Second Element box.
Depending on your 3D model, even if the above condition is fulfilled, new
intersection outputs are generated only if they were present in the design
before.
Optional:
Click Preview.
All intersection features are displayed in the work area.
In the tree view, they are aggregated under the multi-output node.
Note:
The outputs are inserted
after the last element in the node and are numbered accordingly, instead of being
inserted at their original positions.
Click OK.
The intersection outputs are regenerated.
Note:
You can undo the regeneration
operation to go back to the previous design stage.
