To Divide Linework and Profile-Based Objects

Use this procedure to divide linework, AEC polygons, mass element extrusions, spaces, or a block containing any of these objects into two (or more) parts defined by a divide line you draw. The parts on either side of the line are then separately selectable. If a closed-boundary object is divided into two parts using this option, both parts are recreated as closed. If an open polyline in a zigzag pattern is divided along its length, many selectable segments are created.

1. Select the linework, object, or block you want to divide.
2. Click Home tabModify panelAlign drop-downDivide.

Alternately, enter the command LINEWORKDIVIDE.

3. Specify two points to establish the divide line. In the case of a closed-boundary object, the points can be inside or outside the boundaries; the divide line is automatically extended until it intersects all boundaries of the selected object.

   The divided parts of the linework or object on either side of the divide line are now selectable. Note that the divide line is no longer visible once the second point is selected.
