I want to split body temporary to print

okitoxo

I have pieces that I want to split on serveral parts to print but I don't want that it affect on assembly studio or visualitation. How can I split bodies temporary or organize that?

I would create a new Part Studio and import the original part with the "Derived" command.

Then you can apply the splits and maybe other features you need to print the separate parts, without affecting the original part.

Use the split tool to split your parts, export for printing and then suppress the split (right click on the Split in the history tree and select suppress). Suppressing the Split will make in inactive and 'ignored' in your model but you can always un-suppress it to make it active again

I think I would do @GWS50 's approach, but just make it a configuration that defaults to not-split. That way it doesn't affect any existing instances in assemblies, but you can easily switch back and forth when you want.

But @sebastian_glanzner 's approach is great too. I can imagine some circumstances for which having two separate part studios would be a lot more convenient.
