How to split 3d model

[wojtek90]

I would like to put vise in Mastercam drawing.

I downlode Kurt Vise from their web side and I am able to put them into my drowing. Bud they are one solid model. I would like to be able to move,  moved jaw the way I can put in differen size of stock. How can I do that.? How can I "dezintagrate the solid model" mayby to put it on different level and colors. Anybody can show me the way? Thank you .

Copy all of the movable jaw entities to one level and copy the rest of the entities to another level.

All the models I get from Kurt workholding open as multiple solids, Send a link to the download of this solid and I'll try it.

Thank you Bob .

Your way is very simple the only problem is that there is about 300 entities and is very hard to distinguish betwee moving jaw entities and rest of the vise.

Just click on therm in your model and right click on levels and choose move to the desired level.

I just clicked open, selected sldprt, picked the file and presto I got multiple solids on drifferent levels.

Dave he wants to combine all of the solids from the moveable jaw (jaw, screws etc) to one level to make it easier to open the jaw to a desired width.

 

He is having no problems opening the file.

Oh Duh,Sorry misunderstood when he said there was only one solid when he opened the file.

He's in good hands now, Carry on.

OK Guys. Thank you both.

I think i got it. Some of the files on Kurt web side have multi levels some are not. So .I find one with multiple levels and was able to open it with one klick and then using Bubles method copy moving jaw to another level.

One more question. Can I attach different color to all entities in one level and another color to other level ? How to do it?
