SURFACE SPLIT

This function is used to split a selected surface into two surfaces at a defined line.

After the user selects a surface, there are six options in the submenu window to define the split line.

1.TWO BOUNDARY POINTS

eta/DYNAFORM splits the selected surface once two points are picked on the boundary.

2.SECTION U-V LINE

The user can select a U-V line on the selected surface by cursor. The surface will split at this U-V line.   

3.SURFACE INTERSECTION

Once two surfaces are selected, the first surface is split at the intersection line with the second surface.

4.SPLINE CURVE

The user may pick up to 500 points on the surface to define a spline line as the splitting line.

5. LINEAR SEGMENT

The user may pick up to 500 locations on the surface to define a polygon as the splitting line.

6. RESPACE U-V LINES

The user is prompted to enter two values to define a new set of U-V lines.

7.CURVE IN DATABASE

The function allows the user to pick up the existing curve in database to define the split line.

8.OVERLAP SURFACE

The function allows user to pick up a surface overlapping the selected surface and smaller than the selected surface. The first selected surface will split along the second surface¡¯s boundary.
