Solution
The "Split Line" feature has three different types. However, this article will only cover the "Projection" type. This type requires a sketch and a face selection.
To use the "Split Line" feature, follow the steps below:
- Navigate to the "Features" tab in the Command Manager
- Select the "Curves" button to open the Curve Commands drop-down menu
-
Click "Split Line" from the drop-down menu
- Select "Projection" as the type of split
-
Select the intended sketch and surface or face as shown below
-
Click the Green Checkmark to complete the feature
Once the split line is complete, we will have a result similar to the "Projected Curve" feature. However, this feature uses the projection to divide the selected face into multiple faces.
