Hi Paul, it looks like you're making great progress now!

re:

There isn't really any built in tool for doing that. Depending on the particular situation some kinds of strategies could be helpful like have some extended flat reference lines to target.

The Construct > Curve > Isect command is the main way to check for intersection points. The Network command can actually tolerate curves that do not exactly intersect. That can be messy at a major nexus point but out in the middle somewhere it can be ok.

Sometimes it can be good to overbuild something and plan to hack excess areas off with a cutting line rather than trying to do the initial surfacing directly to a target shape...
