Create a surface to split a solid?

[desmond.dillon-murphy]

I need to create a surface to split a solid. IS there anyway to do this?

[JDMather]

Yes.

Create surface.

Then select Split.

This tutorial shows some examples.

There is also Trim with Surface and Replace Face - same as in SolidWorks.

You may use a sketch to do the split if it is very simple.
