Cut¶
Introduction¶
The Cut function allows you to cut holes from existing geometry. This function works by superimposing a cylindrical or cube cut onto parametric geometry; within this three-dimensional enclosed volume, all the surfaces are removed. The cut is only applied to the child geometry to which it is attached. A single cut can trim multiple surfaces.
The Cut flyout offers two options: Circle Cut or Cube Cut. Each option brings up a unique property grid.
Access¶
When you select Cut on a static body child context-specific toolbar, a flyout will open and the property grid below will launch.
