If it makes the equations easier, the plane that they are in is:

Z = 1 - X - Y
otherwise written
X + Y + Z = 1

Anyone?

You can use the "Line Intersect" tab on my rotate.xls spreadsheet (get it
from <http://www.geocities.com/partsref/>).  It's only 2D, but you can do
XY first, then XZ.  The resulting XYZ values will be your intersection.

Not as elegant as Rui's solution, but it works for me...

(...) Well, thanks Steve. But you could easilly make it 3D couldn't you ?! 8) See ya (24 years ago, 13-Sep-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
