Could you show how to split a body with a pattern or some type in the middle? It would be appreciated since I would like to do that for a 3D printing project.
Who works with curves? As an example i wanna split a curve to many curves by surfaces or planes or points on curve. Or join many curves? This Thing is exist in catia Or nx? Now What about Solidworks? Thanks
Hi Khalil, Great question - While curve features cannot be split in SOLIDWORKS, sketches can! The best way to split a curve is to convert it into a 3D sketch. Once you do that, all the splitting and trimming tools will be available to you. Once you’ve created your curve, start a new 3D sketch. If you don’t have much experience working with 3D sketches, I’d recommend having a look at this video (bit.ly/2DR6GNE). Then, use the Convert Entities (bit.ly/2EvRfaM) command, click the curve, and confirm. This turns your curve into a sketch. Once this is complete, I typically hide the original curve so it doesn’t get in the way. From here, consider using the Segment (bit.ly/2FElaNx) command (using the Sketch Segments option) if you’d like to break your curve into equal lengths, or the Split Entities (bit.ly/2GDnzsY) command if you’d prefer to break the curve up by placing points. Unfortunately, it’s not yet possible to trim sketches using planes, but you can create sketch entities on planes inside the 3D sketch and use those to trim up your curve if needed. If you do this, make sure that the sketch entities you create have a Coincident or Pierce relation to the curve, otherwise you won’t be able to trim with them. As far as joining curves, consider using the Composite Curve (bit.ly/2GFaMXc) command. This allows you to join existing curves, sketches, model edges, etc. into one single curve. Keep in mind, however, all entities must be touching end to end for Composite Curve to work properly, and if you intend to split up the result, it will need to be converted to a 3D sketch first as I’ve described above. All of these tools are available in SOLIDWORKS Standard, but unfortunately I can’t comment on whether the same tools exist in other programs. Thanks for watching, and I hope this helps!
You guys make the best SW tutorials.
This is soooo neat! Thank you!💎💎💎

What a great tutorial 👌
omg you saved my project
Why can I Trim a surface using a sketch but the split is not allowing me to separate with the same sketch?
Thanks
good stuff
What is in the Trim Sketch in the 1st part?
