A part copy cannot be cut. However, if the parent of the copy is cut, the copy will be cut as well (since part copies share geometry with the parent).

The cut operation maintains the order of the elements, for example, 3D elements yield 3D elements and 3D quadric elements yield 3D quadric elements.

The cut algorithm breaks elements intersecting the cutting surface into tetrahedrons. Since there is no transition zone created between these tetrahedrons and their non-cut neighbors, non-shared element faces are possible. These non-shared faces can result in undesired lines and/or elements during border and/or feature angle representations.

If you cut a structured (IJK) part the resulting parts will be unstructured.

Cuts with the Box are not true cuts, but simply a division of all elements that fall completely within the box or not.
