Allows the splitting of triangle models alongside a defined cutting plane
The function "Split model…" allows the defined splitting of triangle models alongside a planar
cutting plane.
This cut operation is integrated as an enhancement into the Cross section dialog of the view
menu, where it can be shown or hidden alternatively with the button "Split model".

The cutting plane can be shown as a transparent plane in order to control the plane position
before applying the cutting function (option "Show cut plane"). The plane position can be
defined with the parameters of the Cross section function.
The cutting function is applied to the model at the defined cutting plane with the button "Cut at
plane…". If individual solids or surfaces of the model have been marked, the cut operation is
applied only to the selected objects.
The parameter "Move objects after cut" moves the objects resulting from the cut operation to
the left and to the right of the cutting plane by the defined value.
By default the objects resulting from the split operation are generated as separate models, which
can then be processed individually. For example, they can be placed as individual parts within
the build preparation. In contrast, the original model context is maintained when the option
