Hi everyone,I have a problem with the Mesh functionality:By applying the procedure to a Shape that does not have concave angles, the split of the shape according to the defined division lines is correct as in the figure ShapeSplittedOK.JPG.
If instead I try to apply the same procedure to a Shape that has concave angles the result is somewhat strange, that is, the Shape is not split only on the basis of the dividing lines but dividing lines appear, ranging from the vertex of the concave angle to the nearest corner, dividing in this way the original shape in N additional triangles as in the figure ShapeSplittedKO.JPG
The procedure I follow is as follows:- I select the shape with Element Selection- KeyIn -> FACET CREATE- Double click on a vertex of the shape- KeyIn -> place line - I apply the dividing line between two points of the shape perimeter (only one line)- I select the shape with Element Selection- KeyIn -> FACET PROJECT- Double click on a vertex of the shape- KeyIn -> DROP ELEMENT- I select the shape with Element Selection
The settings of the FACET CREATE, FACET PROJECT and DROP ELEMENT are shown in the attached screenshotsMesh_Settings.JPG (FACET CREATE)
MeshProject_Settings.JPG (FACET PROJECT)
DropElement_Settings.JPG (DROP ELEMENT)
Has anyone already faced this type of situation?
Thanks for help,

Hi Swapnil,I tried to follow your instructions but the result seems to be the same as using the Facet Project.Maybe I'm doing something wrong?

Thank you,Salvio
Hi Salvio,
My apologies. I missed the point that you are using Update12 of MicroStation. The Modify Facets workflow is not producing desired result on U12.
I looked for other options to get desired output. Trim surface by curves tool from Surfaces > modify Surfaces is helpful.
Workflow:
1. Draw 3 point linestring having splitting line on shape.
2. Start trim surface by curves tool. Dirn - orthogonal , Method - split surface , convert to Bspline Surface - off
3.Select shape and splitting linestring. Accept to generate result.
It produces two shapes.
Hope it helps...
Thanks,
Swapnil
