Split a part when a run is too tall or the sheet is too short, and both halves stay fully independent. Fire dadoes and joinery on each, change material, and set part-specific options separately. Link the seam to a divider or another part so you never calculate where it goes, and center it, raise it, or drop it to hide it behind something.
Tall ceilings are everywhere, and long plywood is not always easy to get. Sometimes the sheet is too short, sometimes the material is hard to source, and sometimes you just want to hide a seam behind a divider or a shelf. Whatever the reason, splitting a part should be simple. In most software it is not.
Other systems let you split a part but then treat the halves like a compromise. You fight to fire dadoes and joinery on both pieces, you cannot change the material on one, and part-specific settings get lost. Grainwork treats each half as a real part. Bore it, dado it, joint it, change its material, and set its options completely independently, the same as any other part in the job.
You also do not have to do the math. Link the split to a divider or another part and the seam lands exactly where it should, every time, even as the cabinet changes around it. Center the split, or push it above or below, so it tucks behind whatever is going to hide it.
Splitting stops being the thing you dread and becomes just another move. The part gets cut the way it needs to, the seam ends up where no one will notice, and both halves carry their own details all the way to the floor.
