Split a body into multiple parts...

[RDG3PO]

Hi all,

I have an insert that I'd like to split into several layers. Is it possible to do this with the split tool, or is it limited to only one "split tool" at a time?

In the picture, the wireframe is the 'insert', the letters indicative of cavities cut into the insert. The purple sketch lines would be typical of where the solid part would be split into multiple parts.

You can split the part as many times as needed, but need a separate Split Feature-New Solid for each.

That's what I was afraid of. Makes the model tree a little more cluttered. 

Is there a way to suggest this as a feature, to cut using multiple split lines?
