Disconnecting Surfaces

Disconnect lets you disconnect a Surface with a wire network and keep all faces in a single feature.

This task shows you how to:


Before you begin: Open a 3D shape containing a wire network.
Notes:
  • The wire network must be a single feature that contains one or more wires, for example a sketch or a join.
  • If the wire network does not lie on the Surface to disconnect, it will be projected onto it normally.

Disconnect a Surface with the action bar command

  1. In the Face/Surface to disconnect box, select the surface to disconnect.
  2. In the Disconnecting wire box, select a wire to disconnect.



Note: If you edit and change the disconnecting wire, the naming or color applied to the result's faces may be modified.
