split

I need to make a piece for a staircase I'm working on split but have a tab in it so that it assembles perfectly once it comes back from the plasma cutter. How do I go about splitting an already extruded part like a puzzle piece to do that. I am familiar with splitting a part via a plane but that gives me a flat surface for…

When using the Split feature to split a part, I get two parts, great. But one of these parts seems to have the same "identity" as the original, and the other is "new". What determines which side of a split is the old part and which one is the new? Can I control it? My main reason for asking is that inserting a split into…

I am practicing my surfacing and once I got to a useful base object I wanted to add some more solid-like features to it. I'm working on a custom feature to make this easier. I hoped to make the workflow be kind of like a wrap, but without warping and applicable to 'any' surface, not just cylinders and cones as I believe…

A problem I've repeatedly encountered is that splitting a part doesn't offer any way to control which resultant part maintains continuity with the original, and which is considered a new part. This feature is similar to the regular "Split" tool, but adds a "Flip orientation" checkbox to swap which created part is which.…

I have a string that needs the last character removed. I can't seem to figure out how to do it. With the following expression, I can turn it into an array and remove the last element, but I can't figure out how to get it back to a string. resize(splitIntoCharacters(#Description),length(#Description)-2,1) I am trying to do…

I hope that surfacing users would appreciate this custom feature Please give your feedback.

I've designed a stand for my laptop but it's to big for my 3d printer, I'm wanting to cut it into smaller parts with interlocking joint points but i can't work out how to cut up the original part into smaller parts along the joining points I want to make. The only idea I've had so far involves making a bunch of cuts using…

I like that for many commands, a box opens up where you decide which entities are used in the operation. Sort of like an input parameter where you can edit the inputs. For the split command, this is not so and on Android, it makes it hard to use. I want to split a spline where another spline intersects. If I select the…

I have imported an IPT file. Under the parts list, the entire thing shows up as body1. I can highlight different surfaces on the drawing, indicating that it is aware that the part is made of multiple surfaces. However, I don't know how to split this drawing so I can delete some of the unneeded surfaces. Whenever I try to…
