.SH "NAME"
bot_split \- Split a single BOT primitive, containing disjoint groups of facets, into multiple BOT primitives, one BOT per disjoint group\&.
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.HP \w'\fBbot_split\fR\ 'u
\fBbot_split\fR {\fIbot\fR} [\fIbot2\ bot3\fR...]
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
Split a single BOT primitive, containing disjoint groups of facets, into multiple BOT primitives, one BOT per disjoint group\&. For example, if a model contains a single BOT with separate geometry for each of four tires, and you need each tire split into a separate BOT, you could use \*(Aqbot_split\*(Aq\&. Note that this works only if each tire does not share edges or vertices with any of the other tires (i\&.e\&. they are disjoint)\&. The resulting BOTs will have the same name as the original BOT except a sequential number will be appended to the name of each new BOT\&. The names of the new BOTs will be listed when \*(Aqbot_split\*(Aq completes\&. It is recommended to run commands \*(Aqbot_vertex_fuse\*(Aq then \*(Aqbot_face_fuse\*(Aq before running \*(Aqbot_split\*(Aq\&.
