Create an external parting surface.
Generally, parting surfaces are created from parting lines, which can be created after splitting the part using QuickSplit.
Required Step 1 
Select a curve, composite curve or edge. In this example, QuickSplit was used to split the part, and a parting line was created along the edges of one split set.
Required Step 2
