  Cutting a sphere in half and retaining solid sides

  Posted by Jrabbit on July 3, 2006 at 8:15 pm

  I’ve been trying to take a rectangle object, use it to cut a sphere in half. Everytime I do this, the sphere splits in half but is hollow where the rectangle cut it. Is there a way to cut into an object and have that side become a solid wall? I then want the object to be two separate objects and then cut both of them again. Any and all help would be appreciated

  Thanks,

  James, a beginner

  Well, not sure what you like to achieve in the end, I presume there are many
  ways to cut objects apart and fill the holes again.

  Here is a very simple way:

  Create a sphere (or any other object) make it editable
  select half of it

  Use the boole to (A subtract B) remove half of the sphere, this will leave a solid face at the intersection.
  Make the boole object editable, drag the two components out of the Boole structure, delete the Boole, which becomes a null when made editable and you then have two objects, the open semi-sphere and it’s solid face.

  Is that what you were after?
