ReshapeSplit Mesh with Curve

The Split Mesh with Curve command enables you to cut the mesh about a chain of curves forming a closed loop. It is not necessary for the curve to lie over the mesh. The command provides the option to project the curve onto the Mesh, which will in-turn define the splitting profile.

1. Select the mesh you would like to split.
   
   To reset the mesh selection, right-click on Mesh in the selection list, choose the Reset option in the context menu and then select the mesh again.
   
   
2. Select the curves about which the mesh will be spilt. It is necessary that the curves form a closed loop.
   
   
3. Choose the method to define the projection of the curve over the mesh in the Direction drop-down list. Click here for details.
   
   
4. In the Regions to Keep drop-down list select:
   • Inside to retain the portion of the mesh that is enclosed inside the curve loop.
   • Outside to retain the portion of the mesh that is outside the curve loop.
   • Both to retain the both the portions of the mesh after splitting.
   
   
5. Click the OK button to confirm the operation and exit the procedure, or the Apply button to apply the operation, or the Cancel button to abort.
