Advanced Member micro26 Posted March 17, 2018 Advanced Member Report Share Posted March 17, 2018 (edited) Is there a way to split instances using a 3rd object.? RIght now doing "split with" on instances doesnt create a second object for the instance. Objectify separete in object mode also doesnt take into account instances. Also can an object EXACT align (orient) with another objects orientation? This is a much needed function for 3dprint so any help is appreciated. Thanks Edited March 17, 2018 by micro26 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlosan Posted March 17, 2018 Report Share Posted March 17, 2018 I was testing your worflow. Currently on V4.8.13 doing "split with" on instances create a second object for the instance named _copy000 but is empty. All the Instances were splitted correctly.

Advanced Member micro26 Posted March 17, 2018 Author Advanced Member Report Share Posted March 17, 2018 (edited) Yes currently "split with" doesnt make 2 objects just the one you cut. If you split with the toolbar command (drag rectangle eg) it works fine and creates 4 objects ,each instance to the other in pairs. I tried merge them later in surface mode and then use separate/objectify but it just created 2 new objects under the instance.

Carlosan Posted March 17, 2018 Report Share Posted March 17, 2018 Only way i found is to create a primitive patch RMB over the instance layer and command Split with ... Then object-ify Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
