Can I modify a faceted body? (NX5)
Can I modify a faceted body? (NX5)
(OP)
I am using NX5. A supplier has sent me an STL file for us to create a rapid prototype (we have our own machine.) I want to cut the part into two sections before I send it to our RP machine. I can import it into NX without a problem, but since it is a faceted body I haven't been able to do any modifications to it. Is there a work-around for this or am I stuck?

If you cannot find the "spilt" icon then go into command finder (under HELP) and enter "split".
It would probably best best if you used a rectangle to select everything that you need to split.

I brought a faceted body into a file and cannot do anything with it. I am going to work on this when I have free time today and get back to you if I come up with something.

We have a Stratasys Titan FDM machine, in case you're curious.

You can do something with this faceted body. You can do sections to that faceted body.
You can also go to Edit->Facet Body and you have some tools to work with faceted bodies.

The Insert -> Curve from bodies -> Section doesn't
