To Split Surfaces of 3D Freeform Spaces

You can split a surface of a 3D freeform space. This is useful when you need to change the geometry of only one part of a space surface, as when creating a cable channel in a space ceiling.

Note: This procedure is valid for non-associative spaces only. If you perform it on an associative space, it will loose associativity after exiting the in-place edit mode.

Splitting a surface

1. Select the space where you want to split a surface.
