Split Vertically

Naming

Type the name of the new part of the element in the Name field. The name must not exist. If the name is compulsory for this project, Apply remains greyed out as long as the name not properly entered. If a name is proposed according to the project naming convention, the user can change the name or use the one proposed.

Start / End Position

There are three methods to define the start position in the Start Position frame:

From the Vertex drop-down list, select a Vertex.

Enter values in the East, North and Up fields.

Click Graphically Pick Start, the user is prompted to Pick Start (Snap) Snap: and select the position in the graphical view. If the direction is not locked, the direction is modified to suit the start position.

Direction

There are five methods to define the direction:

• Select a vertex in the Vertex drop-down list in the End Position frame.

• Enter values in the East, North and Up fields in the End Position frame.

• Click Graphically Pick End in the End Position frame, the user is prompted Pick End (Snap) Snap:, and select the position in the 3D graphical view.

• Type the direction in the Direction field.

• Click Pick surface or edge to define direction, the user is prompted Pick Face or Edge:, and select the position in the graphical view.

Apply

Click Apply to split the component. The sub-components are shared between the components depending on their position. If the sub-component is near the split line, the sub‑component stays in the original component but it penetrates the other component as well. The Modify Component window replaces the Split vertically window.

The new component can be modified. If Apply is greyed out, type a valid name in the Name field to activate it.

Dismiss

Click Dismiss to cancel the split and close the Modify Component window.
