Split + Transform

I’m trying to do two things:

  1. Split this mesh into two separate meshes using the shown surface
  2. Apply a transformation matrix which I can easily reverse later, which moves the top mesh 5 mm in a single direction

I tried using MeshBooleanSplit and it definitely didn’t give me what I wanted
I also tried MeshSplit and it didn’t split it for some reason

Try to scale the surface, it currently doesn’t fully intersect with the mesh.

Woops. This worked well with meshsplit. I forgot that planes in Rhino are non-infinite!

Hi Krishna - you can always use InfininePlane (‘IP’) as a cutter.

Getting a weird error on a different messier mesh (still quadremeshed)
This plane (selected within infiniteplane) clearly splits this mesh but the program is selecting faces well below the plane and joining them to the piece on top. Not sure what’s happening here…

use v8 for ANY mesh stuff… the mesh tools in v8 at light years ahead of v7.
