Description

The Draft Split command splits a Draft Line or Draft Wire at a specified point or edge. This command is the counterpart of the Draft Join command.

Usage

  1. There are several ways to invoke the command:
    • Press the Split button.
    • Draft: Select the Modification → Split option from the menu.
    • BIM: Select the Modify → Split option from the menu.
    • Use the keyboard shortcut: S then P.
  2. Move the pointer over the correct edge of a Draft Line or Draft Wire.
  3. The edge is highlighted.
  4. Do one of the following:
    • If the wire is closed:
      • Pick any point on the edge.
      • The edge is detached from the wire and becomes a separate wire.
    • If the wire is open:
      • Pick the correct point on the edge. See Notes.
      • The wire is split at the picked point.

Notes

Scripting

See also: Autogenerated API documentation and FreeCAD Scripting Basics.

To split a wire use the split method of the Draft module. This method returns None. 

split(wire, newPoint, edgeIndex)

Example: 

import FreeCAD as App
import Draft

doc = App.newDocument()

p1 = App.Vector(0, 0, 0)
p2 = App.Vector(500, 0, 0)
p3 = App.Vector(250, 0, 0)

wire = Draft.make_wire([p1, p2])

Draft.split(wire, p3, 1)
doc.recompute()
