intersect is undoable, queryable, and editable.
The intersect command creates a curve on surface where all surfaces
intersect with each other. By default, the curve on surface is
created for both surfaces. However, by using the -fs flag, only the
first surface will have a curve on surface. Also, the intersection
curve can be created as a 3D curve rather than a curve on surface.
