Fragmenting a Surface

The Fragment option allows you to fragment one or more surfaces against other surfaces. 

1. Select the surface to fragment.

2. On the Edit ribbon tab navigate to the Surface group and select Fragment.

If only one surface is selected, you are prompted to select another Intersecting surface. 

3. Select the intersecting surface. When the intersecting object is selected, the surface becomes fragmented and the original object is replaced by a container of the fragments. Fragments have random intensity tint to improve visualisation on the screen. 

Fragments are sorted according to the surface area size. If there are too many fragments, only the first few are automatically saved. You are prompted to either merge the remaining fragments or save them individually.
