Profile intersection syntax
The plane profile intersecting rules are:
1. At a profile intersection, each contour is divided into several lines which could be grouped as:
Lines external to the other contour.
Lines internal to the other contour.
The starting point of each contour (x) determines the group of lines to be selected.
The following example shows the explained selection process. The solid lines indicate the lines
external to the other contour and the dashes indicate the internal lines.
