how to split an object into two Beginner in blender. I am trying to split an object into two equal parts by bisecting it. However whenever I try to bisect it, Blender gives me the error message, "Selected edges/faces required." What does this mean and what should I do?
In Edit mode you need to select at least one face or one edge of your object, or the whole mesh, meaning you want to cut this face/edge/whole mesh. Then activate the Bisect tool. On the bottom of the Tools panel (on the left of the 3D View) you can enable some options. I guess the best is to leave everything as it is. Then to separate the two parts you've created, keep the cutting selected, then press V to rip, now you can select a half or the other with L. To make another object with one of your halves, select it and press P > Selection.
