Split faces, trim solids, and split solids

Split part faces to add draft, trim a part and remove one side, or split a part into two solid bodies.

You can also use the Split command to do Face splits on solid and surface bodies, and Part splits on solid bodies.

Use Split to split part faces, trim the entire part and remove one of the resulting sides, or split a solid into two bodies. After you use Split Face, you can apply draft to faces on both sides of the split. You can select 3D curves to split faces.

Note: If you select a 3D curve as a split tool, the Trim Solid and Split Solid options are disabled.

Geometry to use as parting line

You can split a part using a work plane, or sketch a parting line on a work plane or part face. The sketched parting line can include lines, arcs, and splines. A surface body is often used as a split tool for the Split Solid command.

Split faces with different angles of draft

You can split all faces in one or several operations, and then use the Face Draft command to apply individual angles of draft to each face.
