Unstitch surfaces from single body

Selected surfaces are removed from a body and placed in folders in the browser, according to data type.

  1. Open a file that contains surfaces.
  2. If necessary, right-click the surfaces in the browser and select Copy to Construction in the context menu to copy the required surfaces to the construction environment.
  3. In the browser, double-click the Construction folder to open the construction environment.
  4. On the ribbon, click Construction tab Surface panel Unstitch .
  5. In the graphics window, click one or more surfaces on a single body, and then click Apply.
  6. Continue to select surfaces for removal and, when finished, click Done to quit.

When all surfaces or a single body of a solid or quilt are selected, the surfaces are exploded so that each is a separate body. For example, a solid box becomes six surfaces in the browser.

If a single face or a portion of a solid or quilt is selected, all selected faces are combined into a new quilt provided they are adjacent to each another. If they are not adjacent, individual surfaces are created.
