Cut Blocks

When Cut Blocks is selected as the mode in the Cut Blocks & Benches dialog, specify the following inputs:

Input Source

Select the Source of the data that will be used as input to the function:

Selection Design elements you have interactively selected in the Design Window.
Visible Design elements that are visible in the loaded layer. Elements that have been specifically hidden are excluded. This a quick way of selecting all visible elements in a layer without having to explicitly select them.
Layer One or more layers that you select. Names of layers currently loaded in the Design Window are shown in bold.

 

For large datasets, for performance reasons you may prefer to select a layer rather than load that layer and select all of the elements in the layer.

Selecting a non-applicable layer will have no effect. In most cases, an error icon will indicate that the chosen input layer is not valid. Hover over the icon to view a validation hint.

Block Layer

Select a layer containing the block polygons that will be used to cut the input solid(s).

Block Attribute

Each block polygon should have a unique Block attribute value. Select the attribute that will be used to identify which block each of the output solids comes from.

Apply

Click Apply to cut the triangulations.
