-
(Optional) Select a tool guide.
Mouse over faces or edges in your design to preview the edge that will be created on the target. Dimensions are displayed along the U and V edge of the face.
-
Click to select the face, plane, or edge you want to use to split the selected face. You can select multiple faces.
You can hold Shift and hover over an edge while selecting the cutter points. The midpoint on the edge will be marked with a yellow ball in parentheses. The x and y dimensions will emanate from that point.
