Create the finite line segment which exists between the intersections of two planes with a pre-existing line. The input lines and panes are all considered to be infinite in extend. This is similar to the Line Cue Points component, but relying on intersections instead of projections.

Note that unlike Line Cue Points, it is possible for certain combinations of inputs to not yield a possible outcome. When the input line is parallel with one of the planea, the two entities never intersect. Worse, if the line is nearly parallel with the plane, the intersection point may be located very far away.

If the intersection points are coincident, a zero-length line segment will be created, which may be invalid in certain contexts since it lacks a tangent direction.
