This command allows you to  consider surfaces, previously imported into the split document, as parting surfaces to be used to create the parting shells. It is useful when the parting surfaces are provided with the part to split.

 

 

This command is not dedicated to assign to the parting surfaces set a surface created in the Split document. To do this, use the contextual command Add in Parting Surfaces Set.

 

 

Creation stages / Use:

 

Select the Split > Imported parting surfaces... command from the drop-down menu.

 

  1. Select the imported surfaces in the document

  2. Apply or not the shrinkage factor applied to the part

  3. Validate .

 

 

This command is only available from the drop-down menu. However, it is possible to Customize your Toolbars with this command.

 

Available options:

 

 
  • Imported surfaces: A selection filter allows you to select only imported parts in the Split document. The shapes created locally in the document are not selectable.
  • Hide: This option allows you to hide the selected entities during the command, in order to select more easily other entities, especially those that were behind the first ones.
  • Apply shrinkage factor: This option allows you to apply the same Shrinckage factor applied to the molded shape. In this case, choose the Shape to split associated to this molded shape.
