# Cut

The **Cut** tool allows slicing geometry by adding new edges. It supports two cutting methods: **Single Cut** and **Multiple Cut**.

#### Single Cut

* Press **`C`** to activate.
* Define the cut by setting two points to determine the cutting vector.
* After defining the cut, a context menu appears with additional options:
  * **Split** – Separates the geometry along the cut.
  * **Cap** – Closes open edges resulting from the cut.
  * **Gap** – Creates a gap between the newly created edges.

#### Multiple Cut

* Double-press **`C`** to activate.
* After the first cut, continue performing additional cuts until pressing **`Esc`** to exit.
* This method does not include additional settings; it simply generates multiple new edges.

#### Additional information

* If one or more faces are selected before using **Cut**, new edges will be created only within the selected faces, ensuring localized modifications.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.vectary.com/documentation/design-process/edit-mode/cut.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
