In this example you will split a part with a face part. Shown below are a face part, a part with the face part positioned inside, and the resulting split part.
The outer edges of the face part must be completely outside the part to split. Otherwise a split is impossible.
After importing or extracting the face part dryer_1, and positioning it correctly inside the part block_1.
1. Click Modeling and then, in the Model group, click the arrow next to Remove.
2. Click Section. The Section dialog box opens.
3. Next to Parts specify block_1 as the part to split. Use one of the following ways:
◦ The part name appears automatically, if block_1 is the active part.
◦ Click the part with the cursor.
◦ Enter the part name "\block_1" in the user input line, including double quotes.
◦ Enter the part name \block_1 in the data entry field next to Parts. including double quotes.
◦ Click the part name in the Structure Browser.
4. Next to Tool specify dryer_1 as the face part for the split. Use one of the following ways:
◦ Click Tool and then the face part with the cursor.
◦ Enter the face part name "\dryer_1" in the user input line, including double quotes.
◦ Enter the face part name \dryer_1 in the data entry field next to Tool.
◦ Click Tool and then the face part name in the Structure Browser.
5. Click Keep Tool off.
6. Click to complete the operation.
Creo Elements/Direct Modeling splits the part block_1. You now remove the inner part of block_1 from the drawlist or delete it. The result is a part with a hollow shaped like the face part.
