how to split a big object into smaller separate objects?

Asked by gigster33

i transformed a drawing from a bitmap to a vector (a picture of a golf course). parts of the resulting vector objects are correct, but parts are wrong. I want to separe the good from the bad and delete the bad. How to do this?

I have a leg, lets say a rectangle. I want to split it into 2 parts, the upper and lower part.

I inserted endpoints on both sides of the rectangle where i want the split to occur. I chose to break apart each line segment at its respective new node. I then joined the 2 new bottom endpoints to make a boot outline and the 2 new top ones to close the leg outline. However its still considered one single shape.

How can I effectively get the leg to split into to so that the bottom shape can be the boot and the top shape can remain as the leg?
