Represent intersection between surface and terrain

Hi!

I would like to know what is the way to represent the intersection between an arbitrary inclined 3D surface and the terrain. For example, imagine that a slopped triangular surface intersects the terrain (ASTER for example) and I need to represent that intersection (if any) by a line (similar to contour lines).

Thank you in advance!

  • Thanks for your answer!

    I have tried to do what you say, however, I have not got it. The program says that to carry out this action it is necessary to have at least two layers of terrain loaded, and I only have one (ASTER). The sloped surface is not a layer with terrain information itself, but a surface on which I have modified the altitudes of its vertices.

    I attach an image to show the example:

    Create first a surface from your 3d polygon
