The problem of tracing without overlapping a closed curve given implicitly by surface-surface intersection is studied. The technique presented here applies the rotation index for appropriate tracing continuously, without restoring to domain partitioning. The authors are also able to achieve the integration of the novel rotation index algorithm in a marching-based algorithm for ensuring complete continuous tracing [cf. \textit{S.T. Wu} and \textit{L. N. de Andrade}, ibid. 16, 249--268 (1999; Zbl 0933.68136)].
