Intersect 3d line with a raster surface

I have created a raster surface that is made up of elevation (z) values.  I also have pts  with z values that fall above and below this 3d surface.  These are consecutive pts that in certain instances pt 1 may be below the raster surface and pt 2 may be above.  What I need to do is connect these pts (and many others) with a line and find out where that line intersects the raster surface and extract that raster value for that cell.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Kudos! Over a decade later and this solution was still exactly what I was looking for! I had tried with raster but per your suggestion, tried multipatch and it worked perfectly.

Thanks, Eric!
