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
This function allows the user to pick an existing curve in the database to define the split surface line.
8. OVERLAP SURFACE
This function allows the user to split a selected surface using an overlapping surface that is smaller than the selected surface. The first selected surface will split along the second surface's boundary.
