Cross cut in a curviloft skin contour
-
Hi,
I have created a sculpted seat using bezier curves and curviloft plugins. I am trying to find a way to produce "cross cuts" through this shape. I want to create a number of regular sections with gaps between to form slated planks.
I have tried drawing a rectangle and placing this through the model and then using the intersect tool. This does not seem to allow me to break the curves and when I select an area of the sculpted section sketchup still selects the whole rather than the intersected area.
Any ideas? Can this be done? Any help would be much appreciated.
Cheers,
Dan

First, get rid of all the nesting and correct the face orientation on the butt scoop.
Then draw shapes that are the equivalent of the gaps. Make sure it's all in the same context so you might just explode the seat.
Select all of the seat and the 'gaps', right click on it and choose Intersect Faces>With Model or With Selection. Delete what the geometry in the gaps.
If you had the pro version you could use the solid tools to do this all very quickly.

Thank you ever so much for that, really helpful. Had a bit of trouble doing the deletes but got there in the end. Thanks again.
