Split by Plane Tool

The Split by Plane tool splits parts based on a plane. It is intended to be used to split symmetrical parts for analysis. This tool is similar to Split Solid, except Split by Plane allows you to select an axis, point, or edge, to use as splitting plane locations which are not allowed by Split Solid.

The part below has been split along the length of its handle. The purple and green parts are symmetrical, and can be analyzed faster than the whole part.
