Difference between 2 intersect commands

[trainguy]

Hi guys.

Can anyone tell me the difference between Geometry/Midsurface/Intersect and Geometry/Curves from Surface/Intersect (assuming "Update surfaces" is ON)?

Thanks for any help on this...

Hello,

From what I can tell, they perform the same action. As long as you have the Update Surfaces turned on, any command you do in the Geometry>Curve from Surface menu will imprint the newly created curve onto the existing surfaces. This is the exact same thing that the Geometry>Midsurface>Intersect command is doing. If there were any differences to point out, it would be that the Geometry>Midsurface Intersect command allows you to select more than two surfaces at a time, making it quite a bit more robust.
