Slice

Slice a selection set by one or more surfaces.

 

  1. Under the Modify icon, head to Tools and click Slice
  2. Select the parts you want to slice, and press Enter
  3. Drop the manipulator on the surface you want to use as slicing plane, or on a surface parallel with it
  4. (optional) Drag the arrowhead to move the slicing plane to the desired location. You can use the input fields to specify precise distance values, or enable Snapping to align with an existing surface or edge in the model
  5. (optional) Hit Ctrl + D to duplicate the slicing plane. The new slicing plane will be automatically offset over the same distance that the previous plane was moved to, but you can still adjust its position manually by dragging the arrowhead
  6. Press Enter or click Apply

Note: if the sliced product is part of a larger assembly, they will be sliced into parts but they will still remain part of the parent product. Use the Assembly Editing tools to manage how the parts relate to each other.
