Cut Edge Segment
Cut Edge Segment tool can modify an edge segment in two ways. It cuts off a piece from a segment or it adds a piece to a segment. The cut off or added part is formed by three new edge segments of which two are perpendicular and one is parallel to the original edge segment.
To add/cut off a piece to/from an edge segment:
1. Select Cut Edge Segment tool.
2. Move the mouse pointer inside a view.
The edge closest to the mouse pointer is dynamically highlighted.
3. Define the edge to modify with a data click.
This updates the Detail view and displays the image that sees the selected edge location best. If you move the mouse pointer, the new edge is dynamically displayed.
4. Define the location of one perpendicular edge segment with a data click.
5. Define the location of the other perpendicular edge segment with a data click.
6. Define the location of the parallel edge segment with a data click.
This places the new edge segments at the defined locations. You can continue with step 3. You can go back from steps 6 to 5, 5 to 4, and 4 to 3 by placing a reset click.
