LarryAZ Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 How do you take an existing window and cut off one half? I want to create a 3D symbol using parts of a window PIO. So I convert it to a group. Then how do I cut it in half. I tried clipping surfaces and subtracting solids all with no success. I would like to just put a rectangle on the side I want to get rid of and click "go away". Now have a 3D remaining window I can add to the original group to make a new custom window. This should be easy. no? Thanks for any help. Quote Link to comment
bc Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 Larry, I have had success doing it this way. Do not convert to group. Instead, use the split tool in the split by line mode. Draw your split line down the axis of your selected window where you want to split it. It will then create the two half-objects and you select and delete the one you don't want. I hope this produces what you're after...... Quote Link to comment
LarryAZ Posted October 4, 2005 Author Share Posted October 4, 2005 bc, I still seem to need to split as a group to maintain the classes that were set for the PIO. Then take all the group pieces and put them back together as a symbol. But it does work! Thank you thank you thank you. Larry Quote Link to comment
