GTS NX Dividing Tools A Selected Surface divides the selected solids. Selected Tool Surface Select a Tool Surface (Datum Plane, Shell, Face), which will divide the solids. If the Tool Surface consists of multiple Faces, user must combine them together and select here as a single Shell.3-Pt Plane 3-Pt Plane defines an infinite plane, which will divide the selected solids. The coordinates of the 3 points may be specified using Snap. Divide Touching Faces of Neighbors When a number of solids exist in a compound and only selective solids need to be divided, the neighboring solids to the selected solids will be divided at the corresponding face as well. This is intended to ensure the connectivity of mesh at thecorresponding faces. Delete Original Shape(s) This option deletes Source Shape leaving the shapes subsequent to a division operation. Delete Tool Shape(s) This option deletes Tool Surface leaving the shapes subsequent to a division operation.

GTS NX Select Master Object Select an object Solid. Here, the Selection Filter is fixed to Shape, and only Solid can be selected. Select Tool Object Select a solid, which will become embedded into the object solid. Here, the Selection Filter is fixed to Shape, and only Solid can be selected. Delete Original Shape(s) Delete the Original Shapes of Master Object and leave only the shape subsequent to an Embed operation.
