  1. Select a Direction. By default, the direction is set to the normal direction of the object itself.

    The Direction group is available for linear object only.

    The selected cloud is divided into two new clouds with different colors.
    You can choose to keep the two separated parts or only one with the two checkboxes.

  3. Validate the command with OK, or close the dialog box with Cancel.
