Split Structural elements

Hello,

I've placed a concrete column and I tried to split it in 2 by placing a line on the top of it and then I've used the tool "Cut solid by curves" to split it, but rather than having 2 different objects, the second half disappeared.
Do you know how to solve the issue?

Thank you.

  • Hi Silvia,

    you can use Fence Clip and move to split an Element. If you do this with a Column and cut from Top it should create two new Columns.



  • You can use the Break Profile tool to split a structural member such as a column. G3 in the Structural Task.

  • Cutting Columns from Top is not a typical use case, but anything is possible in ABD ;-)



  • Hi Mark,

    thank you, but unfortunately that tools works only with Walls and not Columns or Beams.

    Regards,

    Silvia
