Extend surface to intersect another surface.....

luucky - no joy unfortunately, the plugin has its uses but not here....

coldby - That is my usual method for intersecting complex objects in order to make neat joints. The boolean ops don't work on these structures very well (if at all....). The knifing can only effectively be done by dividing the surfaces of the objects a great deal - this wastes allot of time clearing up the excessive numbers of surfaces. I was just hoping for a great deal quicker 'included' method, one that I quite like is included in solid edges 3d modeller....

I think things could be better if boolean operations were not required to be made from solids.
