# Split Elements

### Split Elements

'**Split Elements**' splits selected MEP elements by inserting fittings by predefined spacing rules.

The Part Type of the fittings must be set to Union. '**Split Elements**' works on **Ducts, Pipes, Cable Trays and Conduits**.

After selecting the MEP elements in a project and clicking 'Split Elements', the 'Split Elements' window appears.

Here you can select a **Split Configuration** to be executed. Configurations can be filtered by groups. The image on the right is a preview of the fitting specified in the selected configuration.

The '**Edit**' button opens the '**Split Configurations**' window, where you can make modifications to your element splitting settings.

{% endhint %}

In the 'Info' section, you can see a breakdown of your selection by category. Union fittings can only be inserted for one category of MEP elements at a time. The last line is the overview of elements that the configuration will be applied to.

The '**Split Elements**' button at the bottom right of the window runs the selected configuration.
