Slice Parameters rollout
Slice Type—Defineshowthesliceplanewillaffect
the geometry to which it has been applied.
•
Refine Mesh—Adds new vertices and edges
along the intersection of the geometry with
the slicing plane. Faces cut by the plane are
subdiv ided into new faces.
•
Split Mesh—Adds a double set of vertices and
edges along the plane boundary producing two
separate meshes (one on either side of the slice
plane), w hich you can modify differently if
desired. U se this to break a mesh in two.
•
Remove Top—Deletes a ll the faces and vertices
abovetheSlicePlane.
•
Remove B ottom—Deletes all the faces and
vertices below the Slice Plane.
Oper ate On—Choose one of these buttons to
specif y how the slice handles quads and other
polygons.
•
Faces—Treats the selection set as a set
of triangular faces, slicing each one in turn.
Outputs a mesh-typ e object (page 1–996).
•
Poly gons—Converts the object to
a polygon mesh based on visible edges,
eliminating hidden edges. Outputs a
polymesh-type object ( page 1–1022).
