SURFACE SPLIT

 

This function is used to split a selected surface into two surfaces using a defined line/curve.

 

After the user selects a surface, the user can select one of the following six options 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 using mouse cursor. The surface will split along 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 boundary of second surface.
