Malcolm Crowe Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 (edited) If you find that you have modeled a single part, that should really be 2 or more separate parts, then the following options for separating might help. Option 1: Copy the part into as many as you need, then delete the applicable features not needed in each part. Option 2: Within the Scene Browser, select to highlight the features wanted. Then left click and drag into a temporary catalog. From there, drag these features back into the scene as a new part. Option 3: There is also a "Split Part" tool in the "Modify" section of the "Feature" Group of the Ribbon Menu. This may be more applicable for some applications. Attached are simple videos of options 1 and 2.

Jonas@Solidmakarna Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 Another option is to use the IronCAD Mechanical tool Split Intellishapes. http://www.ironcad.it/en/manuale/split-intellishapes Remember that splitting features to a new part with this tool will also create a new part having new ID numbers for each Face, Edge, Vertex of that new part. This means that features such as Blend/Chamfer/Shell etc, which are based on those ID's, probably cannot "survive" this kind of "castling". In those cases I would always go for option 1 described by Malcom, since it is very stable and predictable! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
