      <p class="para_topic">The procedure for Profile Split is as follows:</p>
      <ol type="1" start="1">
         <li>
            <p class="para_item">Select a target solid body (usually the cavity or core block).</p>
         </li>
         <li>
            <p class="para_item">Select a loop of curves/edges.</p>
         </li>
         <li>
            <p class="para_item">Specify the extrude direction. An extruded surface is created.</p>
         </li>
      </ol>
      <p class="para_topic">You can control the extrude distance by typing in values or dragging the sliders in the Extrude Distance dialog box. </p>
      <p class="para_topic">+ distance: extrude distance in specified direction</p>
      <p class="para_topic">- distance: extrude distance opposite the specified direction</p>
      <p class="para_topic">In the associative mode, a linked body copy of the target is created and trimmed by the extruded surface. In the non-associative mode, the curves/edges loop split the target solid into two pieces.</p>
