These two tool create curves, one by finding the intersection of two solid objects, and the other by projecting a 2D object onto a 3D solid.
Intersection
Creates curves along the intersection of two solids (not surfaces). This tool does not work with surface objects.
Select the first and second solid objects. This example shows a sphere and a hemisphere.
The intersection curves are created.
Projection
Projects a 2D curve onto a solid (not surface) face. The 2D curve can be open or closed.
