Split bodies.
Split bodies.
(OP)
Hi,
I am just wondering if there is any tool just opposite of combine. I can see there is one option call "split".
This does not solve my problem.
In my solid part model I draw different features of solid bodies. Once they are in contact they merge and make one single body.
Now I want to remove ( split) material from one feature by using some plane. But the plane split the whole body and not that single feature.
I would appreciate if someone could help me on this.
Thanks

RE: Split bodies.
You may also be able to create a surface which passes only through the feature and use it as the cutting tool.
RE: Split bodies.
I often create plastic housings as a whole part, and then create a complex parting surface to split the parts (like a tongue-and-groove sort of fit). So if you create a surface, you can use that to split your parts--you don't have to use an infinite plane to do so. If your parting surface has multiple pieces to it, make sure you Knit them into a single surface body before trying to use the surface for the Split feature.
