is there a command or workflow to split all intersecting surfaces? currently we build surface models and split manually or open in autocad, explode, overkill, breakall, then export the lines for rebuilding in an FE package.
Ideally we would like to export straight from inventor with one hit
There is an Unstitch command in the Construction Environment.

Any improvements on this Mr. Gibson?? We are having the same problem out here...
We've managed to cut down on the number of splits by stiching the surfaces before splitting. In this way your initial 5 splits can be done with only two (see attached part). But a script to do this automaticall would definitely come in handy...
Anyone? Please script something that does:
Select all surfaces and split them along any intersecting surfaces
EASY!
