Use splitting to split a part into two. You can use splitting with straight parts, polybeams and curved beams without offsets, and normal and tapered reinforcing bar groups. You can also split plates and slabs by using a polygon.
Split a straight or curved part or polybeam
On the Edit tab, click Split.
Select the part you want to split.
Pick a point for the dividing line.
If you split a polybeam, check that the following are correct:
The position and orientation settings of the split polybeams
The components related to the split polybeams
Split a plate or slab using a polygon
Ensure that the Z axis is perpendicular to the plate or slab you want to split.
On the Edit tab, click Split.
Select the part you want to split.
Pick positions to outline the polygon to be used for splitting.
Click the middle mouse button to close the polygon and to split the part.
Note:
When you pick the corner points of the polygon to be used for splitting, make sure the starting and end points are:
outside of the part, and
on the same side of the part.
Note:
If you split contour plates that have bolts, welds or surface treatments, check the result after splitting.
