Split (divide) a surface into trimmed surfaces along curves-on-surface

Creates multiple trimmed surfaces from the trim boundaries of a surface.

1. Choose Surface Edit > Trim > Trim Surface .
2. Click the surface you want to split.
3. Click an area you want to separate. You can click more than one area of the surface to separate. Crosshairs appear on the selected areas.
   TipYou do not have to click a “visible” part of the surface (such as an isoparametric curve). Clicking anywhere inside the surface edges will also work.
4. Press the Divide button in the window.

   The tool trims each selected area from the original, and creates a new trimmed surface of the separated area.

5. After the trim divide operation has been performed, you can undo it by pressing the Revert button.

See also Trim a surface for more details on the integrated workflow for trimming and dividing surfaces.
