Command Overview

Creates separate wireframes for each logically discrete piece of data formed by the interaction of two wireframe data collections. Two separate data are input to this command, and each output represents one interconnected surface from the original objects; however original surfaces may have been divided by intersection with the other objectâ€™s wireframe. Inputs can either be loaded wireframe objects or collections of preselected wireframe triangle data.

The Extract Separate command will attempt to classify each new wireframe data surface with respect to the other wireframe data. Each surface may be classified as being Inside, Outside, or On the other wireframe object. This classification method makes use of the face direction stored for each triangle within the wireframe.

You can optionally set a Key field for each input wireframe. Use <None> to disable key-based grouping for an input.

Output Wireframe can be generated as a Single Object or as Multiple New Objects. Multiple output objects are created from key-field grouping, while single-object output stores all resultant wireframe data in one object.

See Wireframe Extract Separate for detailed command steps, examples and more guidelines.

Note: the Extract Separate screen is also displayed when the wireframe-merge command is run.

Note: this command is also available using the BOOLEAN process (@METHOD=4).

Note: This command supports flexible wireframe selection.
