Creating an intersection curve of two terrain surfaces.

When you have two terrain models, or a terrain plus a 3D object (e.g. a DTM touching a building object), you can create an intersection line where both surfaces touch.

The procedure for getting such 3D curve entity - using a volume surface and its zero contour - is described in the first part of the posting "How to to cut surface of a 3D body" (in Czech, and its Google translation) on the blog Civil3D.cz.
