Re: Inventor help: split a solid

That's exactly what I was thinking. Just an update, I tried it out, and I have a feeling that you really can't control the split amount, seems from the description that its good for things where you want to split the entire mass in one smooth step. I'd just sketch a line on the surface and use the cut extrusion "to-next"
