Curve Edit > Curve section

Cuts, trims, or creates new geometry along a number of curves based on some criterion.

See Slice (section) a group of curves

With this tool you can:

Define points on a group of curves at:
Intersections with a free curve, surface, reference plane or construction plane.
Specific parameters.
Specific distances from their endpoints.
Then use these points to do any of the following:
Trim the curves.
Detach the curves.
Insert edit points.
Create a curve that passes through the intersections.

Options

Sectioning Mode

Trim: trim back curves by deleting the part of the curve beyond the intersection point. The part of the curve you clicked on is retained.

Segment: detach the curves at the intersections.

Slice: has different effect depending on the Slice Creation Mode.

This option is available when Sectioning Mode is Slice.

Slice Creation Mode

Create Curve: create a curve that passes through the intersections.

Insert Edit Points: insert new edit points at the intersections.

Insert Points: insert reference points at the intersections.

Sectioning Criterion

Geometry: perform sectioning operation at the intersections with a free curve, surface, or construction plane.

Parameter: perform sectioning operation at a specified parameter on each curve.

Distance: perform sectioning operation at a specified distance from the start point of each curve.
