How can i intersect two planes in ACAD?

How can i intersect two planes in ACAD?

How can i intersect two planes in ACAD?

(OP)
I need help finding a way to intersect two planes in acad, apparently i cannot do this, i mean, ACAD only intersects solids. I guess i can do it the "old fashion" way which is obtaining equations of the planes and doing the rest of the mathematical stuff, but if ACAD has a way of doing this graphically i´d rather do it this way.

Thanks.

Make the solids very thin?

You can make two intersecting planes in 3D polyline but you wont be able to see the interseting line(s). I tried hatching each plane however the hatching did not conform to the shape of the planes.
The thin 3D planes mentioned above can be "colorized" to see the interseting line(s)

As IFRs said, make two pieces of sheet, and position them where you want. You can then subtract one from the other to put an edge where they intersect. Trace the edge, with a line (or arc or spline or whatever) and you will have the intersection.

Make it the polyline to be a region , then you can get the intersection .
