Next,
00:05
we'll take a look at the new break at
00:07
point command and compare it to the break command.
00:12
These commands can both be accessed here on the modified drop down
00:17
on the home tab of the ribbon.
00:20
They're right next to each other. The old brake command
00:24
and the new break at point command.
00:27
Let's take a look at the brake command.
00:30
Have some poly lines here
00:32
and the way the break command worked
00:34
and still works, you select your point
00:38
and then
00:39
select a second point to break it.
00:42
But if you wanted that point to be at the same
00:45
location, a
00:47
lot of times this is what you would end up with.
00:51
This is just how the brake command works. It has nothing to do with the O
00:55
snaps
00:57
and notice the space between them.
00:60
The break at point command
01:02
is much cleaner as you can go in.
01:05
Select break at point,
01:08
click on the object that you wanna break
01:15
and just like that, the point that was selected is the point of the break.
01:21
Let me show that one more time.
01:25
Break a point,
01:27
select the point
01:29
and click enter
01:32
and it breaks at that point.
