 Creates a line where two objects intersect. This can be seen with the two cubes below. If **Surface Intersections with other object** is enabled, this creates a line where the two surfaces intersect. This is one area where Lasershow Converter MAX is superior to systems that only do hidden-line removal. This system is capable of not only hiding hidden-lines, but also producing lines where two objects intersect, which gives a far more realistic 3D appearance. Creates a line where two objects intersect.
