Thank you

Hi,

Will be better if you do it on your own, I can tell you how to do this, but, try do it by yourself.

Here is my solution:

1) Select the surface and click "uncut" (Red box on screenshot "1.png")

2) Create new lines in the middle of each part of surface, and cut it (screenshot "2.png")

3) Select part of surface again, and cut it back (screenshot "3.png")

4) Blank the radious surface, create composite curve on each part of left surface, select composite curve and create new surface (screenshot "4.png")

I hope it helps.

There is a much faster way to do this.

1 - Select all the surfaces

2 - Convert the surfaces to solid(s)

3 - Select all 4 solids, and convert back to surfaces

Hi @PLAS1991

If you're happy with the solution, could you please mark this post as 'accepted'?

Thanks

Thank you for the quick reply
Not happy, We are now in Powershape 2017 And there is no Command Divide surfaces Push of a button without having to convert to Surface , Solid , Surface .
Autodesk must develop powershape In earnest and fast ,
And ending delcam ideas.
Thank you.

If you would rather do it just with surfaces, try this (although unlike the solid method you will need to repeat for each separate surface).

1 - Select the surface and (if it's a NURB) convert it to PowerSurface

2 - Turn trimming off (so that you can see the surface edges)

3 - Use Ctrl/drag to add new curve(s) to the surface

4 - Select the new curve(s)

5 - Divide the surface

6 - Turn trimming back on

Again, a short video to show this is done.

So finaly you just copy my solution...

Only difference is, that I suggest to "Add curve" by surface feature from the button on the Surface Toolbar, You did it using CTRL and drag. Final effect is the same, and if your solution is a little bit faster, my is more precise.

Yes, but this is simple and easy Example 😏

I can divide the surfaces of the push button Other program 😌 It must be added in the future in Powershape.

thank you.

If you could provide details of how this other software does it, we can add it to the development wish list.

Thanks

Maybe this button   "Break surface" would serve as "divide surface"  which makes the function already available in PS

not as fast and easy as using the solid - divide solid route, but at the end you end up with eigth surfaces and not the "fillet" being broken into

multiple pieces of surfaces by solid divide, attached a two images

Dear Mr jon.hunwick

I look forward to hearing from you.

I recorded a video and put in attachments ,You can watch.

I have many ideas to help develop Powershape For the better and faster

Yours sincerely .

Thank you

I will pass this on to development.
