Unable to split solid

[BarryZA]

Hi Guys

I have been splitting up these profiles into multi-bodies for a couple of days now, and all of a sudden I get an error "unable to split solid"

I want to split the centre solid on the extruded surface that is visible.

Still on Inv 2013 I am afraid. 2015 sitting on top of my machine at the moment.

Any and all help appreciated.

Hi!

Sorry, but Without the "045 tag 50 cross sections master.ipt", this file you place in attachement is useless.... it's like you send a IAM without the parts...

At a first look to many useless features. Split, mirror, split, mirror,split...all in the same place and often ciclyng depending eachothers..and obtaining the same results.

To straigth split you don't need to create a surface, you can use directly the sketch.I think that with a "clean" featured part you will have no problems.

I'm sure you are correct. But you know what it is like, when you are in a hurry something has to go wrong..

Absolutely my friend.

Hi!

I found the issue...

You have "loose" solids ... these two portions of solid are disconected from the main body, and this cause the issue...

If you delete, (or split) these "disconected" solids first, you are able to split the main body in two by the extrusion.

Just to confirm, If you suppress the delete operation... split solid doesnt work, (image below)....

....and that's it...

Split feature dosn't work with different lumps. See picture. You have created two islands (red) with Split6.

Solution:

a) Change follow-up of Splits

b) Extrude again two "bridges" to the islands, do the Split, and after that delete the bridges by delete face with healing.

Well, Carlos explained it in the meantime, too.
