Thx for the explanation
I will try it :)
PS You have not written what we must write for the Angle in column of the Shortcut

Pss an you must write for the first for example
Alt+X QuickSplit_XYZ X
Alt+Y QuickSplit_XYZ Y
Alt+Z QuickSplit_XYZ Y

becauce I have written QuickSplit_XYZ X (y or Z) and nothing work !!! :)

Hi Pilou.
"because I have written QuickSplit_XYZ X (y or Z) and nothing work !!! :)"
Good point! :) I should have been more clear -- it's:
QuickSplit_XYZ X
QuickSplit_XYZ Y
QuickSplit_XYZ Z

For the Angle script there is no parameter to enter. The angle is chosen by where you place your 2 points on the model.

PS --
After playing around with QuickSplit_Angle for awhile I realized Pilou was thinking "angle as defined by a specified angle". Turns out there is a way to do that with this script:
Pick your object, hit your hotkey, pick the location you want the split to run thru, go to the angle box at the bottom of the gui and enter a number for the amount of precision you need for the angle, that turns on snapping set to that precision. Then pick your 2nd point on the model, after moving the pointer around until you get the angle you want. The split will be done at the specified angle. In other words, if you want a split at 45 degrees, enter 5 in the angle box and snapping will happen at increments of 5 degrees. If you want 22.5 degrees, type in 0.5, snapping sets to 0.5 degree increments.
The more I use MoI, the more I realize how well thought out Michael's design is!

That works fine :)
But I dont understand why you have 2 scripts?
Split_Angle with Snap Direct enable can make the same than QuickSplit_xyz (and more of course) :)
So I have erased QuickSplit_xyz and keept Split_Angle who is very useful indeed :)

Yes, I realized that too, after I used it awhile.
The Angle script is all that's needed. :) Oh, well, learned a little more about MoI's scripting in the process...

hi Michael

Does the SPLIT script work with MoI 5.0 beta Apr-8-2023 to obtain section like the example ?

Or have you planned a "section view" function ?

thanks

Christian

Hi Chri,

re:

I'm not familiar with the "split" script, can you show me where that is located?

But you can use the regular boolean difference command to make a cut like that.

Draw in your parting line like this:


Select the objects and run Construct > Boolean > Difference. Then select the line at the cutting object:






> Or have you planned a "section view" function ?

I would like to have a section view function but I'm not sure when it will happen.

You can also use Construct > Curve > Project to project a line onto objects which will generate section cut curves:

Hi Michael
Thanks for your quick answers

boolean difference is the function i have used
but we have to do as many Boolean operations as there are parts to be cut
the result is nice and it's a 3D section

you can also use Construct > Curve > Project to project a line onto objects which will generate section cut curves:

this function is simple and fast but the result is now a 2D section
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


it would be nice to cut a group of parts with a plan or a line in one time then select between the 2 groups which one should be masked.

Sorry, I'm not understanding this part. You can select all the objects and do just one boolean, you don't need to do them one at a time.

you are right Michael
i made a mistake, i have used merge function instead diff function

it works fine with merge function

Sorry.

Hi
an example cut by polyline ( gif file)

Thanks Michael

A simple Boolean Diff Box don't make the trick ?
so here as you have a polyline...an extruded polyline ;)

hi Pilou

You're right, I didn't think you could simply subtract a solid; it was too easy!
In MOI, everything is easier than in other software!
Thanks


Bonjour Pilou

Tu as raison, il ne m'est pas venu a l'esprit que l'on pouvait tout simplement soustraire un solide; trop simple
Dans MOI, tout est plus facile que dans les autres logiciels !
Merci

christian

:)

Normally a polyline under (upper) the volumes should make also the Boolean Diff...
but use "planes" help a little more to see where the cut will be made and also the prog in complexe cases! :)
