      Cool a new little summer challenge! ๐Ÿ˜„

      the edge cube over the Red surface

      • Ctrl of the measure done from the side's cube
        Group the result
        Double-Click + CTRL the other side's cube
        Group the result
        et voilร ! ๐Ÿ’š

      You have your 2 solid parts of the cube! โ˜€
      Sure not at the same place but...

      Maybe this process can be refined!

      Cool little headache ๐Ÿ˜„

        More classic and in place! ๐Ÿ˜„

        Surface is a Group
        Select the Cube / Intersect with Model
        Mask Surface
        Keep only a lateral face of Cube
        Push Pull one Part / Group
        Double click on the second part / Group
        Seems you have your 2 "solids" in place! ๐Ÿ˜„

        PS I have not Bootlools2 maybe it can make that automatically ?

        Thanks Frenchy,

        The cube and curved surface are only props-- I expect real world examples to be more complex. So, the extrude example won't work. I did however eventually use the intersect command combined with double-clicks + grouping to separate things. Then copy+paste to create the second interior surface.

        Still would be nice to be able to do this.

        PS Booltools 2 can't do it.

            I looked at it before but I don't think it works with surfaces. I wonder if it's Boolean tools are as good as Booltools 2?

              Have you tried:

              Eneroth Slicer

              s4u Slice

              Save the Earth, it's the only planet with chocolate.

                  I tried the original bootools on your sample and it left the top cube with some lines to clean up. I still use it on SK2015 however I cant run 17 on my portable so I don't know if it runs on that version.

                    Yeah, I tried su4 Slice and it works great, but only with a line. Nothing compound.
                    Perhaps you've heard of Blender's boxcutter:

                    That would be one sweet SU plugin!

                          Yes, I forgot you shared that previously. Great find. Wish it allowed for scaling of the templates.
