Issue with terrain splitting along a sheetpile wall - is it at all possible?

Hi,

Is there any possible way to split or divide the mesh (terrain) in two parts, one inside the sheet-pile wall and the other outside the wall?

 

Best regards

If the sheet-piles are columns or objects, then unfortunately you can not magic wand to them.

 

However, convert them to morphs and you can magic wand up to them.

 

Work on a copy that you can convert to morphs, so you can keep the original columns or objects as they are.

Your mesh looks quite flat, so I was going to say simply cut a hole and then fill with a new mesh.

 

But if it is not level then duplicate it.

Cut a hole in one and then subtract the outer area from the copy, and then move it back into the correct place.

Thank Barry,

 

This will probably work, but is there a way to make the cut-out follow the contour of the sheet-piles with SEO or a other method?
