I try to use the command “splitBody.Bycutter()” to cut my main body and hollow pipe. My main body is shown in the figure below. This main body is a solid body. I first cut out a hollow pipe with scanning. Now I want to put This pipeline is separated from the entity cutting. I can achieve this function in the operation interface, but when I use the code: “splitBody.Bycutter(bodySel, edgeSel)”, I get an error: “no tools selected”. In “edgeSel”, the ring edges at both ends have been selected. I don't know where the problem is, can you explain it for me? thanks for your help

Hi haibin,

Are you able to use the split body operation manually using this body and this edgeloop?

thank you for your answer ,yes, I can split the body manually. But not using script. I already figured this problem by another method.

Of course, I'm very willing to share my method. My method : I will remove the original options along the trajectory to no fusion, and then use the combination of resection of the script code, the outside body as the cutter tool to cutter the outside of the pipe, so that the pipe inside the cylinder, and on the left side of the structure of the tree, cylinder and pipe is divided into two different bodies.
