Splitting an object (ie. Removing Lid from Bottle)

[designteam&123]

I've downloaded an Adobe stock .obj file to find the lid is not separate from the bottle.

Is it possible to edit an object to separate and save out the lid and bottle elements as individual objects ?

Thanks

well Adobe Photoshop can cut any Obj file so yes its possible

but I'd like to know which stock file it is before we try chopping it up

[designteam&123]

Sure, its AdobeStock_219873494

cylindrical_soap_dispenser.obj

i assume you want the lid off so I would cut along the red line but you can also cut along the blue line if you want to show the pump in an up state

its an easy edit for Photoshop but any 3d software should be fine mate

Thanks, yes, I'd like to cut along the red line.

Do you know of a simple PSD tutorial that I could follow to make that slice ?

I use it in this example at about 2:50...

Thats great, thank you. Ive managed to slice through the cross section but I cant seem to save it as a .obj file - to the be able to open in Dimensions.

Is it possible to save out as a .obj file ?

Thanks again for your help.

Hey, I've worked it out - through the 3D panel.

Again, thanks. Huge help.
