I wish to create a box, a plane in the middle of the box, cut the box into two boxes using the plane. Then move one of the resulting boxes away from the other. Can I do that? How?
When I do this using split or partition features, it create one entity unter Results with two sub-shapes. Such a sub-shape can’t be edited by its own. If I want to fuse a sub-shape with another result, I can’t.
I found shaper a very useful tool but I need to use boolean operations like cut a body into two, then combine one half with another body, remove a shape from another… I couldn’t find how to do.
What worked for me was to apply the copy command (in the feature menu) on the split result and to apply the compound command (in the build menu) onto the split and its copy. Apply the compound command on the first sub result of the split command and the second compound command on the second sub result of the copy command. Then you can translate both geometries individually.
There is probably a better solution, but this one seems to work.
Thank you for your response. I believe what you suggested is the best option.
Immediately after I asked this question, I also come up with the same approach. Although it works, its not very convinient. I was looking for features like “unite” sub-volumes and “make seperate body”.
