Split

Basic

Splitting an object may change its type; for example, splitting a roof face creates a solid section, which can no longer be edited as a roof face.

Mode

Description

Point Split

Cuts an object or NURBS surface at a specified point

Line Split

Splits an object or NURBS surface along a cutting line

Line Trim

Splits an object or NURBS surface along a cutting line, and then keeps a designated side

All Objects
