Drawing the lines first isn't an option --- I need to match a differently cut part and need to get from the left (the tip of the cone) to the right (the ellipse where the cone and plane intersect at X and Z based on knowing Y (I'll be looping through).
I've tried doing it w/ trigonometry, and it's a long series of nested calculations which seem cumbersome and slow to calculate even before I get halfway there.
