4. Mouse over the faces and planes in your design to preview the edge that will be created on the target. You can also select a patterns of planes in the structure tree to split the face. When selecting patterns of planes as a cutter, you can also use Shift-Select to select specific planes within the pattern.

5. Click the face, plane, or patterns of planes to split the selected face with an edge.

Surfaces are parameterized using two variables labeled U and V. The location of each point on a surface can be described with coordinates (u, v).

Use the Point tool to sketch a point on the sketch grid. Points are useful as a dimensional reference, for splitting, and for creating a point on a line or curve through which you want to draw a three-point circle. tool guide, you select a UV point on the surface or one of it's edges.

4. Click a point on the surface or edge to split the selected face.

Clicking a UV point on a surface splits it into four pieces.
Clicking a UV point on an edge splits it into two pieces, along a constant U or V coordinate.   For a chain of tangent faces, the split propagates across all tangent faces at the constant U or V coordinate.
