First off I am by no means an expert at Solidworks. I havetaken a few courses and have been able to figure out most of what Iwant to do on my own, but this one has stumped me.
What I am trying to do is identify when a surface has reached acertain angle based off a bottom plane, and then cut the surfaceinto 2 different surfaces based on the line that would be createdfrom this. For instance a semi-sphere is sitting on a flat surfacewould have a point where the tangent angle would be say 45 degreesbased off of the flat surface, I want to cut it into 2 surfacesbased off the 45 degree line (this would be easy as it would be aplaner, but for my application I will almost never have a planerline).
I believe this is a surfacing issue, but it might be solvable usinga different approach.
