Yes, it is necessary.

First off, I would not use the primitives for this intersection. Once the
highest Y value of the intersecting curve is known, I would scale the
stud2a.dat primitive to reach that point.
To find the points for the edge, inline a cylinder which fills the space
between stud2a.dat and the actual bottom of the stud. You need to find the Y
value for each of those lower vertices. You can ignore the Z values, and
concentrate on X and Y.
You can use my rotate.xls (see
<http://www.geocities.com/SouthBeach/Lagoon/8641/index.html>) spreadsheet to
help find the Y values. Go to the Interpolation tab. Enter the X and Y
values of the end-points of the angled surface. Then start entering X values
for each lower vertex of the inlined cylinder. Update the inlined code with
the Y values supplied by the spreadsheet.
You can also use the points with the new Y values to write the line-commands
for the intersection edge.
HTH,
