Curve: Break Edge

 

 

 

 

Function

Break (disconnect) selected edges, which exist in the 3-D space.

 

 

 

 

Call

 Geometry > Curve > Break

 

 

 

 

<Break Edge>

Select Edge(s)

Select edges to be divided.  Upon selecting the edges, the direction of each edge becomes highlighted by an arrow in yellow.
 

<Method>

Ratio

The Ratio method divides selected curves at the locations set by the Ratio.  0 and 1 refer to the start and end points respectively.

 

Cutting Ratio

Enter a relative ratio (0~1).
 

Breaking Point

The Breaking Point method divides selected edges using selected points..

 

Select Breaking Point

Select points, which will be used to divide pre-selected edges.  The selected points will be projected onto the pre-selected edges in the shortest path, and the pre-selected edges will be divided at the projection points. 
 

Breaking Edge

The Breaking Edge method divides selected edges using another set of selected edge(s).

 

Select Breaking Edge

Select edges, which will be used to divide pre-selected edges.  The selected breaking edges will be projected onto the pre-selected edges in the shortest path, and the pre-selected edges will be divided at the projection points.
 

Breaking Face

The Breaking Face method divides selected edges using selected faces.

 

Select Breaking Face

Select faces, which will be used to divide pre-selected edges.  The selected faces will be projected onto the pre-selected edges in the shortest path, and the pre-selected edges will be divided at the projection points.
