The following Studio 3 commands represent some of the available commands that can be used to manipulate wireframe models:

• Merge/Split - This command will split two wireframes where they intersect and can be used for both open and closed wireframes.
• Solid-Union - The SOLID-UNION command allows you to combine wireframes
• Solid-Difference - The SOLID-DIFFERENCE command allows you to intersect two overlapping wireframes and update the first wireframe selected minus the overlap from the second wireframe selected.
• Solid-Intersection - The SOLID-INTERSECTION command can be used to find the common volume of two overlapping wireframes. The resultant wireframe represents the overlap of the two selected wireframes.
• Solid - Split at Plane - The SPLIT AT PLANE command can be used to split a wireframe along the intersection of the selected wireframe(s) with the current view plane.
• Solid - Multiple Split - The MULTIPLE SPLIT command is used to split a wireframe at regular intervals parallel to the viewplane. You must defined the interval used for splitting.
• DTM – Update - The DTM-UPDATE command is used to update one surface wireframe with another. The new surface is generated using the second wireframe selected to update the surface elevation.
