Splitting a Mesh

The Split operation in Trim/Split splits a mesh using cutting elements.


Before you begin:
  • Ensure that the mesh is exempt of non-manifold problems.
  1. Select the mesh to split.
  2. Select the Cutting elements.

    Cutting elements can be:

    • Curves
    • Planes
    • Surfaces
    • Meshes.
    Note: The curves resulting of the projection of the cutting elements on the mesh must intersect each other or intersect free edges of the mesh. The portion of curves not taken into account at intersections must be as short as possible.

  3. Select a Projection type (applied to all cutting elements).
  4. Optional: Select the Preview check box (time-consuming).
  5. Select the Split option.
  6. Select the Result options.
