Mesh - Split a mesh (First, reduce its size)

Mesh - Split a mesh (First, reduce its size)

[1] Required meshes
- Target Mesh to be split
- a cutting object = a rectangle surface at a Z.
Menu: Surface >> Plane >> Corner to Corner

[2] Target mesh
- If the target mesh is so big (a large number of triangles), its size should be reduced.
Otherwise, the MeshSplit is not working..... no error but no spliting.

[3] Reduce the size, ex) 50 %
Mesh menu >> Mesh Edit Tools >> Reduce Mesh

[4] use "Mesh Split"
Mesh menu >> Mesh Edit Tools >> Mesh Split

Move the cutting plane in different Zs for more cutting!

If "Mesh Split" is now working, reduce the mesh more (e.g., to 75%)


It worked!

Use "MeshOutline" command to outline the split meshes!
