Split solids into 2 or more parts
Hello everyone, how do I do if I want a piece in 2 or more parts but keeping all?
With the Boolean method you copy or clone the piece and subtract a part in the original piece, and then subtract the other part in the copied piece.
For example, in other programs a cutting plane can be defined and both parts remain.

You have in Part -> Split -> Booelan Fragments

Re: Split solids into 2 or more parts
Part Slice
EDIT: To get the solids apart parametric, you can also use Compound Filter, which is buried in Part menu. Or, use Explode Compound tool from Lattice2 add-on workbench.

Compound Filter. Please can you describe how to reach the same result as Lattice2 explode.DeepSOIC wrote: ↑Sun Apr 22, 2018 1:35 pm Part Slice

1. Select Slice object, apply Compound Filter.freecad-heini-1 wrote: ↑Sun Apr 22, 2018 1:51 pm Compound Filter. Please can you describe how to reach the same result as Lattice2 explode.
2. Select CompoundFilter object, go to properties. Switch Filter Type to "specific items".
3. In 'items' property, type a zero.
-> this is your first solid.
4. repeat for however many solids you need to extract, increasing the number you type into 'items' for each step.
Re: Split solids into 2 or more parts
Usage question, should have been posted in "Help on using FreeCAD" forum.
But I am the only one here who cares about it anyway.

Can I move the solids separately?DeepSOIC wrote: ↑Sun Apr 22, 2018 2:04 pm Select Slice object, apply Compound Filter.

With the german locale I have a problem with the list, perhaps because ',' is the decimal separator. If I write '0,1' I get an error, I have to use the range instead. The range behaves peculiar as well:
I have an object, which I have sliced in two. Entering the values below yields the following results
items: 0 -> result: first part
items:1 -> result: second part
items: 0:1 -> result: first part
items: 0:2 -> result: both parts

Re: Split solids into 2 or more parts
There seems to be no entry for Compound Filter in the wiki. Or did I miss it?

Re: Split solids into 2 or more parts
You should be able to. It's the same CompoundFilter as in Lattice2. I think bernd transferred it, don't quite remember...
That shouldn't be a problem, we have it so here in Russia as well.
See https://github.com/DeepSOIC/Lattice2/wi ... lter#items for what it's supposed to be. I'll check...
