How to Split Objects In Tinkercad!

In this Tinkercad tutorial we take a look at how to break an object up into smaller parts to manipulate further or get ready to print. I show off a few techniques that I use regularly in order to make my models. These include splitting objects into two or more parts, zooming in and out of objects, duplicating things, and adjusting the camera to give you a better angle and zoom controls.

Let me know if you have any questions or if you'd like me to cover any specific topic in Tinkercad!

Thanks for Watching!

9 years later and still educating, thanks man. Learnt two things, how to easily split an object and how to duplicate haha, much better than the copy paste I've been doing (which pastes offset to source)

What a silly process but man am I glad you made this video! 4 years later and it's still the same way from what I can figure out!

[VampireOnline]

Man! I have to come back to this video about every 3 months when I need to do this! Thanks for the video again!

Dude this video is solid gold. I know it's old but the feature packet hasn't improved in this area in TC so it's 100% still accurate. Thanks for the great tips.

Omg... i sooo need to know how to do this in Fusion 360. Spent a whole day on Fusion 360 and ended up using Tinkercad to do this. Thanks for sharing these very useful techniques!

This video might be 8yrs old but it's timeless helped me so much.

seriously tinkercad needs a cut function

Thank you it worked like a breeze, for those who said it does not work, you need to listen to the man properly and follow his instructions, even if you need to rewind on the youtube video a couple of times in stages. Thanks man much appreciate the tutorial

7 years later and this video helped me a ton, thank you for making such great content!

Thank you SO much. I saw another video on how to do this and it just went way too fast, but you explained it really well. I did have to watch it a few times but I did succeed in doing what I needed to do.❤

I have split like 100 models so far but every so often my brain just goes blank and I have to come back to your video. Thanks a lot!

I have to say Thank You for this video! I've been scratching my head on how to cut a model in half to print on my smaller printer for a couple of weeks. This made it much simpler for me.

Just finished a project I have been puzzling over for months. Thanks to this tutorial it all suddenly came together. Thanks for making it clear with an excellent tutorial.

[SilenceSilver]

Thank you for this! I'm making my first personal 3d print and not just something I found on thingiverse, but my printer is not that big so this is a great solution!

im lost, when I go to group objects the one half disappears completely

[philipea]

Your instructions are too messy. I have a much easy way to do it:

1) duplicate the object you want to split
2) build a hollow box over the first half
3) combine
4) repeat previous steps with the left half

[DustinBlodgett]

Thank you thank you thank you!!! This was so helpful! Appreciate your work on making this video!

Always wondered how to do this and normally i just use hollow boxes and do it along fangled way but it worked, this is 60 second stuff though, thanks so much.

I just started learning this process and i'm so greatful for you for teaching this. I was able to create something simple because of you. Much love.
