About Slicing 3D Solids and Surfaces

Modify 3D solids and surfaces by slicing, or dividing, existing objects.

Use the SLICE command to slice a 3D solid or surface, you must specify a cutting plane or select a surface.

  • 3D solid objects can be sliced using specified planes and surface objects
  • Surface objects can be sliced by specified planes only
  • Meshes cannot directly be sliced or used as slicing surfaces

You can retain one or both halves of the sliced object.

Sliced objects retain the layer and color properties of the original objects, however the resulting solid or surface objects do not retain a history of the original objects.
