"With advanced splitting powered by OpenCascade, architects can now handle complex geometries like voids, cores, and corridors with ease, making planning workflows smoother and more precise."
‍– Aishwarya Arun, Product Specialist

What’s New

Snaptrude’s Better Split for Planning upgrade introduces smarter, more flexible ways to divide geometry during early design.

Why This Matters

• For early planning: Handle courtyards, atriums, and cores without manual workarounds.
• For space allocation: Split shells, rentable areas, and corridors precisely with offsets.
• For flexibility: Choose whether splits apply at the space or department level, depending on your workflow.

Key Features

Enhanced Split Functionality

• Split through closed loops, including voids and holes inside geometry.
• Works seamlessly with Split Face for form-first workflows.
• Offset Splits with customizable room widths and offset modes (centerline, internal, external).

Core Workflow Support

• Courtyard & Atrium Design: Split around voids to create circulation or courtyard-centered layouts.
• Core & Shell: Divide cores (services/utilities) from rentable shell space with offset thickness.
• Corridors: Easily create internal, external, or doubly loaded corridors for circulation planning.
• Form-First Workflows: Use split + extrusion to break footprints into multiple buildings or create setbacks.

Toggle for Split Behavior

• Split ON → Break down departments/spaces into smaller units.
• Split OFF → Lay out subdivisions within a department without altering its boundary.
• Toggle is available in the Draw tab and remembered across all projects.
• A one-time educational modal introduces users to the toggle when they first split.
