Do not know if it exactly what you want http://demonstrations.wolfram.com/IntersectingLinesInAllPossibleWays/ http://demonstrations.wolfram.com/ReflectingInIntersectingLines/ I have few more basic Mathematica engineering examples here, may be this will be useful for you http://www.12000.org/my_notes/mma_matlab_control/index.htm #50 above shows how to find intersection point of 3 surfaces. > As I'm sure it is just my unfamiliarity with the program, I am > wondering if any such template exists or if there is another way to do > this in the program. > > Thanks a lot for your help > Nasser
