Description:
You can split a Panel along its line of intersection with a given plane or Section. The Panel is split into two or more new Panels which have same owner as the original one. More than one new Panel may result if the original one has re-entrant vertices.
The vertices of the original Panel are moved to the new Panel(s) as appropriate and new vertices are created where the intersection line crosses the edges of the original Panel.
