Split Feature

Split Feature

Split Feature

(OP)
I am creating a modelof a disconnect switch, and I am trying to limit the number of parts to create. But I also want it to look like it was assembled. I know in other 3d parametric CAD packages that there is a split feature, which adds a split in the material, so that you are able to
see it is seperate parts. It doesn't actually break the model, it just is for visual effect. Is there any feature comparable to this in Pro-E Wildfire 1.0? If so, are you able to change the color of the surfaces seperatley?

Thanks,

Aaron Banik

RE: Split Feature

ProE stitches the models together.

Your options are:
Create curves or surfaces to deliminate the models.
An assembly of seperate parts.
