SmSplit

  • Updated

Splits a flange along a polyline drawn on its face; splits lofted bend along the line on the ruled surface.

 

Accessing the Command

: SmSplit

Prompts you in the command bar:

Select flange or lofted bend face: (Select the face of flange or lofted bend.)

Flange: Select lines or edges to split the flange or [use SMart split/draw a New line] <draw a New line>: (Select a polyline or edge on the flange or choose an option.)

Lofted bend: Select point on lofted bend face: (Select a point on a ruled surface)

 Input

Description
   Flange face

Allows to split flange by drawing a new line or using existent line/polyline. prompts you: Select flange or lofted bend face: - (Select a flange)

Select lines or edges to split the flange or [use SMart split/draw a New line] <draw a New line>: - (choose an option)

prompts you:

Make split [Center/Left/Right/Accept] <Accept>: -(Repeatedly hit the Ctrl-key to cycle the options, then press Enter to accept the current split.)
 Lofted bend face

Allows to split the lofted bend by selecting a single point on a lofted bend face. Prompts you:

Select flange or lofted bend face: - (Select a lofted bend face)

Select point on lofted bend face:

  • Select point for split: Specify a point on selected lofted bend.

Use Smart Split

 

 Flange face

Allows to split flange specifying a point on a flange. prompts you: Select flange or lofted bend face: - (Select a flange)

Select lines or edges to split the flange or [use SMart split/draw a New line] <draw a New line>: - (choose an option:)

Use smart split

Allows to split the flange by selecting a single point at a flange corner. Variants for placing a second point will be automatically suggested; prompts you:

Select point for split: - (Snap to a vertex of the selected flange.)
prompts you:

Make split [Center/Left/Right/Accept] <Accept>: - (Repeatedly hit the Ctrl-key to cycle the options, then press Enter to accept the current split.)
If TIPS = ON, the currently selected option is indicated in the Tips widget at the bottom of the screen.

New Line

 

Allows to draw a line on the selected flange.

Prompts you:

Start point of the line: - (Specify the start point of the line.)

End point of the line: - (Specify the end point of the line.)

Settings

 

  • Convert bend to junction: Allows to recognize an L-corner on a flange and automatically convert part of the split bend into a junction.
  • Make orthogonal bend split: Determines whether a bend will be split orthogonally to the bend axis if the bend line crosses the bend at an angle.
  • Heal coincident miter faces: Switches the mode for the recognition of miter-like design made of coincident faces; OFF = keep; ON = convert to regular miters.

 

Related Commands

SmConvert - automatically recognizes flanges, bends and lofted bends in a 3D solid.

SmDelete - removes a bend or a junction by restoring a hard edge between two flanges; removes a flange with all the bends adjacent to it. The adjacent flanges are extended up to a junction configuration with the flange being deleted. Removes miter by restoring geometry being cut by the feature.

SmFlangeConnect - closes gaps between two arbitrarily oriented flanges.

SmFlangeEdge - creates one or more flanges to a sheet metal part by pulling one or more edges of an existing flange.

SmReliefCreate - makes proper corner and bend reliefs. Corner reliefs are built on corners which have three or more adjacent flanges. Bend reliefs are built on the start and end of a flange edge.
