Description

Splits a solid wireframe object or preselected wireframe triangle data into multiple parts using a plane (view plane; a plane specified by azimuth, inclination and a reference point; 3D section; or a plane picked using the pointer) and inter-plane distance.

This command displays the Multiple Split dialog.

Note: This command supports flexible wireframe selection.

How to Use

  1. Run the command.

  2. Select the required wireframe object or choose to use preselected wireframe triangle data (from any loaded wireframe data object).

  3. If you wish to process key field values separately, pick a Key field from the drop-down list, otherwise leave as <None>. If multiple object data is selected, only data columns common to all selected objects will be listed.

  4. Define the plane orientation that will be used to generate split wireframe data, either using one of the presets (Horizontal, North-South etc.) or define a custom Azimuth and Inclination.

  5. Define the plane reference (origin) point for the initial section

    You can also define a plane orientation and origin by selecting an existing wireframe triangle, using the Pick Face button, or you can simply use the current 3D view plane.

  6. Specify the plane interval (the Section Spacing) to be used to create split wireframe data.

  7. Choose if you wish to create a Single Object output (containing all wireframes) or a collection of wireframe object outputs. If a single object, 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).

  8. If you are generating a single object, this object can have an optional, (Split Column).
