Searching the better way to split a shape in two.
-
It seems to be so an evidence for lot of you that i havn't found the way to do it anywhere:
"How do we split a complexe shape by the middle"??

For now, i make a parallel rectangular face ,-, move the shape by is center to surface ,-, Select all, intersect with model ,-, delete an half part. >> laborious, long, many wrong erased pieces. I'm shure we can do it bettersimon.

Simon,
If there is a better way I don't know it. One way to ease the post-intersect selecting is to switch to Parallel Projection, but with a complex model it can still be tedious to get just the geometry you want to keep or erase.

Jean,
Simple and clever.

Hello everyone
I wanted to add my 5 cents.
Sometimes I find myself working at the unusual angle and with a complex overlapping geometry. This does not always allows me to switch my view in a way where i can select one half. Espatially if i am not cutting by a simple single face.So here is my method

Good,, very Good,, Excellent i would say.
I think we've got all we needed.. Thanks SCF folks

Good tuts guys.
The tip about grouping after the intersect is very useful for the more complicated shapes.Thanks
