Cut With Plane?

Cut With Plane?

Cut With Plane?

(OP)
Hello all,
Is there a way in an assemly to cut with a plane and then select which side to keep.  Or something similar?

Thanks,
BB

RE: Cut With Plane?

Unfortunately, there is no Cut With Surface tool for assemblies. That would be a good ER?

You have to use the regular sketch driven assy cut.

Thanks CBL.  I will add it to my ER document that grows weekly.

RE: Cut With Plane?

In parts there is the "split" command that does what you want.  Depending on your requirements you may be able to edit the part in the assembly and split it or use a multi-body part.  Probably the most likely is what CBL already recommended though.  I hope this helps.
