In Creo 10.0, the Split Body tool has been enhanced with a new Trim option, resulting in a combined Split/Trim Body tool. Now, you can easily toggle between Split and Trim operations within the same feature. When the Trim option is selected, it removes the split-off portion, effectively trimming the body. This feature works with both the Splitting Object and Volume splitting methods, and the resulting feature is named either Split Body or Trim Body, depending on the operation performed.

Original model:

Split redefines a body into two bodies:

Trim removes the split off portion:

Benefits

  • Streamlined Workflow: Access both Split and Trim functions from a single tool, simplifying your modeling process.
  • Unified Approach: The new tool allows for consistent and efficient workflows to trim a body using an object or volume.
  • Clear Naming Convention: The feature names in the Model Tree are transparent, making it easier to identify the operations performed.

Additional Information

  • Limitations: No known limitations.
  • Does This Replace Existing Functionality? No.
  • Configuration Option: None.

This enhancement combines two powerful functions into one tool, making your design process in Creo 10.0 more efficient and intuitive.
