Slice Mode Panel

Slice Mode provides tools for performing the slice and resetting the slice plane position, as well as an option for splitting the mesh while slicing.

• Any sub-object level > ribbon > Modeling tab > Geometry (All) panel > Click Slice Plane.

This panel is available on the ribbon when the Slice Plane tool is active.

Interface

Slice

Performs the slice operation at the location of the slice plane. Available only when Slice Plane is on. This tool slices the poly just like the “Operate On: Polygons” mode of the Slice modifier.

Split

When on, the QuickSlice and Cut operations create double sets of vertices at the points where the edges are divided. This lets you easily delete the new polygons to create holes, or animate the new polygons as separate elements.

Reset

Returns the Slice plane to its default position and orientation. Available only when Slice Plane is on.
