    Circle-Sphere 3D Intersection Points

    Okay, so I've finally got it. I attached a spreadsheet for anyone interested For my application, I was moving the center point of the sphere along an arc, and outputing its intersection with a circle that has a fixed center. I was only interested in 1 of the 2 intersection points. If you are...

    Circle-Sphere 3D Intersection Points

    chiro, Thanks for the quick response. One important detail I forgot was that a vector perpendicular to the plane containing the circle is also known (a vector along the axis that the circle is rotated around). I am very familiar with dot and cross products. Does rotating in these (u,v)...

    Circle-Sphere 3D Intersection Points

    I would like to find a way to get the intersection points of a circle and a sphere in 3d. The center of each and their radii are known. This needs to be a general solution so that I can move the center of the sphere in steps and find the intersection at each step. I am curious if this can be...
