Hello
I'm at the limit of knowing the combine or split tool
Mechanically welded spiral. SLDPRT (8.6 MB)
I have a junction with my cone made by rolling in sheet metal. I model my sectors (angular one by one), at the level of the connection I go through a 3D sketch then curve and dividing line, so far no slippage of the tool but ... I can't split my bodies to remove the overabundant part... If you have a tip I'm listening to advice, have a good day.

Hello @spectrum_2024
Material removal with a plan? Quite radical and well adapted to this kind of problem. Normally you should be able to select the bodies concerned by the function.
On the other hand, I wouldn't have dared to do all the developments in the same room.
So, I have just arrived at a compromise
I convert my partial sketches and do a smooth sheet metal sweep with the two limits imposed by intersection geometry. I'm happy but this approach is only applicable if my area to be cut is between the two initial planes, when the cut is in an interval it's not applicable...
Thank you for a possible tip, I can go through the 100% surface by removing unnecessary surfaces, if I can't find it I'll do it out of obligation.
Have a nice day.

Hello
If I understand correctly, you want to delete the material that is above the dividing line.
If there is a problem, it comes from the dividing line that cannot be used as a sketch.
If you want to use it as a sketch, since the different elements are not joined you cannot do a 3D removal.
You also have an error in Sketch 12 (non-joint)
Kind regards
Hello Zozo,
It's nice to take a moment to give me the solution, basically I have open sketches to allow me to do my press, it's practical but to do material removal you need a continuous profile, not good it's my mistake, I think simplifying the end of my spiral because the gain is small compared to the extra work for the workshop...
Have a good day, regards.
