Create intersection between torus and surface

[[Si...]]

Hello,

 

 

Unfortunately, in comparison to other measuring elements, I cannot create an intersection between the torus and the surface. I need this to measure a diameter from it. See picture.

Are there other ways to create an intersection point at the transition from the torus to the surface?

I can not see which diameter you need and if that surface is cone or something another.

Yould need to measure that torus as circle around D2 - or just measure a circle in the way you need your number. Circles can be used in intersections so make more of them to get more points for calculation.

The surface is a plane and I want to intersect the plane with the torus. The diameter of D2 does not help me.

So you need to know max diameter of that plane ( right before torus is comming )? This should be torus D diameter

Looks like the torus is the ID ring on the outside? Kind of like a circular moat? If you have curve you can scan four 2d curves equally spaced (12/3/6/9) around the torus. Then use the Kink point function to get the four intersections to construct a circle. Or possibley measure four equally spaced circles in that well and intersect them with the top plane.

Create a circle using "Define circle on Cylinder", touch Torus, select subsidiary radius.  Create Intersection construction, selecting circle and plane. 

Or use section tool to create a circle on torus. Repeat for all 4 quadrants.  Create a circle and Recall the 4 intersections.

FYI Assuming the radius of the torus is tangent to the top plane, the D1 of the torus equals the intersection (tangency) of the torus and the plane.
