SURFACE SPLIT
This function splits a selected surface into two surfaces at a defined line.
After the user selects a surface, there are eight items in the submenu window to provide ways to define how the line is split.
1. TWO BOUNDARY POINTS
eta/DYNAFORM splits the selected surface once two points are picked on the boundary.
2. SECTION U-V LINE
Select a U-V line on the desired surface by cursor. The surface can be split at this U-Vline.
3. SURFACE INTERSECTION
Once two surfaces are selected, the first surface splits at the intersection line.
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 creating a new UV grid.
7. CURVE IN DATABASE
The function allows user to pick up the existing curve in database to define the splitting line.
8. OVERLAP SURFACE
The function allows user to pick up a surface overlapping on the selected surface and smaller than the selected surface. The first selected surface will be split along the second surface boundary.
