Double split on a single part
Double split on a single part
(OP)
SWX 2007
I have a rectangular part which is 1"x1"x7". Picture it standing on end, so it is 7" tall.
I need to split this part twice so that it ends up in three pieces.
I would like the first split to make the top a seperate body that is 1"x1"x1". I have managed to do this fine.
Now I would like to take the leftover bottom body (which is now 1"x1"x6") and split that the long way so that I get two pieces that are .5"x1"x6". I can't find a way to do this and not also split my top body.
I hope this makes sense, there is probably a simple answer but I'm just not finding it.
Thanks

RE: Double split on a single part
Are you using the Split tool in the Features toolbar?
With this tool, you just select the cutting plane and bodies you wish to split.

I am trying to use the Split command on the features toolbar but as Dgowans pointed out, the problem is that I was trying to use planes and they are infinite so they wetn right through my top part.

I never use surfaces so I didn't think to use those. Your part is exactly what I was trying to do.
As always, everyone here was a great help!
Thanks

And in fact I am.
I didn't realize the split tool worked quite that way. I rarely use it and incorrectly thought that not selecting a body when creating the split would lead to that body going away.
I'd give you a star, but you know how I feel about that...

I tried opening the file you attached but I am still on 2007 so it won't let me.

I thought when you checked the boxes at the bottom is would save them to an external file.
Couldn't be much easier.
Thanks
