Translations:Part CompoundFilter/8/en


 * 1) Select the sliced object
 * 2) Apply Menu → Part → Compound → CompoundFilter
 * 3) Select the CompoundFilterObject in the tree
 * 4) In the properties tab set "Filter Type" to "specific items"
 * 5) Set items to the elements you want to extract
 * 6) For a single piece this is a number starting with 0, i.e. if you want to extract the first element enter 0 in this field, 1 for the next element ...
 * 7) If you want to extract more than one piece at a time separate the numbers with ";", e.g. a value of "0;2" will extract the first and the third element
 * 8) The general case - which covers the posibilities mentioned above as well - is a list of index ranges, specified in Python notation, but without brackets. Ranges can be chained with semicolon. For example:
 * 9) *  7:10 take children of indexes 7, 8 and 9 (indexes are zero-based; range-to index is excluded).
 * 10) *  1;2  take children 1 and 2 (first range is child 1, second range is child 2, ranges joined by semicolon)
 * 11) *  0;-1 take first children (index 0) and last one (index -1 means last child, -2 - one but last, and so on)
 * 12) *  1:   take all but first child (missing index means "all the way to the end").
 * 13) *  ::-1 take all children in reversed order
 * 14) *  ::2  take all odd-indexed children, i.e. indexes, 1,3,5,..., which are the elments 2,4,6, ...
 * 15) *  :;:  repeat the input compound twice
 * 16) If you want to extract another piece select the sliced object again. It is now placed under the CompoundFilter in the tree
 * 17) Repeat the selection procedure from above. The slice and its subelements will be displayed under both CompoundFilters; they are, of course not repeated in the model. A very fast way to extract another piece is to copy the CompoundFilter. But watch out: You are asked if you want to copy the elements under the CompoundFilter too, which you must answer with no, you dont want to copy them, you only reference them.
