Interface

Slice

Performs the slice operation at the location of the slice plane. Available only when Slice Plane is on. This tool slices the poly just like the “Operate On: Polygons” mode of the Slice modifier.

Left: Using Slice; Right: After slicing and moving the pieces apart

Split

When on, the QuickSlice and Cut operations create double sets of vertices at the points where the edges are divided. This lets you easily delete the new polygons to create holes, or animate the new polygons as separate elements.

Reset

Returns the Slice plane to its default position and orientation. Available only when Slice Plane is on.
