Split

Split is hardly any different from Disconnect. However, a separate object is created from the separated areas when they are disconnected. The original object is not changed.

This tool can also be used for splines. A separate spline is created from the separated segment (as with surface objects) and attached directly behind the active object in the Object Manager.

A point selection and the Point mode are required for splines.

Tool options

Keep polygons in the source object

You have the following options:

  • Activated: the selected polygons remain on the original object and a new object is created from the selection only.
  • Deactivated: the selected polygons are actually separated and a new object is created from them.
