Split Body Tool

The Split Body tool works in two modes:

  • Slow mode is activated by clicking a Split Body tool guide. In this mode, once a tool guide is clicked, it remains selected until another tool guide is clicked. This mode works just like any other tool.
  • Fast mode automatically activates tool guides and moves you through the workflow. This predictive mode allows you to box-select multiple cutters to add even more efficiency.

You can use the Split Body tool to:

  • Split a body by its edges
  • Split a body by its faces
  • Split a body by a plane
  • Split a body by patterns of planes

You can select a body or surface from the model tree as the target and a plane or patterns of planes from the model tree as the cutter. When selecting patterns of planes as a cutter, you can also use Shift-Select or box select to select specific planes within the pattern.
