Create a Body Using Split

We will now build a sliding cover for the battery compartment. If it is visible, turn off the visibility for the top body.

1. In the Surface Bodies folder, turn on the Visibility of Srf2. Note that enabling this surface also turned on the visibility of the stitched BatterySplitSurface in the browser. You can also enable the surface visibility by selecting BatterySplitSurface in the browser.
   
2. On the ribbon, click 3D Model tab Modify panel Split .
3. Choose the Split Solid option in the dialog box.
4. Choose Srf2 as the Split Tool, and the bottom body as the Solid to split.
   
5. Click OK to finish.

6. A new body is created. Turn off the Visibility of the bottom body and Srf2 (BatterySplitSurface) before proceeding.
