Split

Used to split 2D Clines or 3D Curves, either at an orthogonal plane location (X, Y or Z), or via a general surface.

Select the preferred Method of splitting, Plane X =, Plane Y =, Plane Z = or Surface. If using an orthogonal plane in the X, Y or Z axes enter a value for this in the Parameters panel.

On clicking Split, the User needs to select interactively, a series of curves (finished by clicking the SPACE bar) to be split. Alternatively the curves to be split can be dragged from the Full View tree and dropped onto the Split button.

If the Surface method is selected a further interactive pick is required to identify the required surface.

The All option is used to indicate all curves in the design should be split.

Note:
In the case of using a generalised surface that cuts a closed wire at only one point, then splitting of the curve into two is not possible; however the curve's internal edge will be subdivided at that location.
