This command splits a mark of surfaces with a line swept along a vector.

mark_id: The mark ID containing the surfaces to split. Valid values are 1 and 2.
line_id: The line ID to use for splitting.
vector_id: The vector ID to use for the split direction. This is defined using the *createvector command.
trim_flag: 0 - The line is swept using the distance value.; 1 - The line is swept through the entire surface.
distance: The distance to sweep, if trim_flag is 0.

To split surfaces 10 and 20 by sweeping line 11 along the z-axis:

*createmark surfaces 1 10 20
*createvector 1 0.0000 0.0000 1.0000
*surfacemarksplitwithline 1 11 1 1 0

Incorrect usage results in a Tcl error. To detect errors, you can use the catch command:

if { [ catch {command_name...} ] } {
   # Handle error
