Description

Splits a closed wireframe - a 'solid' -  or a selection of triangles representing a solid by a DTM (or selected triangles of a DTM). You may choose to keep the solid above the DTM data or the solid below it.

If the solid was a closed wireframe and had a clean line of intersection with the DTM, the new object will also be a closed solid.

Displays the Split solid by DTM dialog.

Note: This command supports flexible wireframe selection.

How to Use

1. Run the command.

2. Select the closed volume to be split (the Solid). This can either be an object or you can used Selected triangles data in a 3D window and use Store current selection to commit it to the command.

3. Select the DTM (open surface) that will split the Solid. As above, you can also use Store current selection if Selected triangles represent the DTM.

4. Choose whether you want your output to represent data above or below the DTM.

5. You can output data either within the Current object, an existing wireframe object (pick it from the list) or a new object (type a new name).

6. Click OK.

For example, in the image below the DTM (the wireframe doing the splitting) results in the image on the right if you choose to Keep Solid below DTM:
