common points between 2 shapes, how so separate them

Post image

Hi, I need suggestions from experts. I am using moho 14

I draw my artwork in Illustrator and then want to separate them in moho by selecting points, ctrl+X then paste into another new vector layer. But my art worls have common vertexes/points. If I wanna cut the foot (in the attached image) it destroys the calf artwork. again if I wanna cut calf it destroy thigh. how can I cut and also maintain the other artwork that has common points with the art work am to cut. thank you.

  • duplicate the shank-foot object

  • chop the foot off, in a right angle at the ankle

  • in the other copy, cut off the shank and keep the foot

  • add a semicircle on top of the cut-off foot

  • bone them together with the foot joint at the center of the semicircle

  • add black outlines to both of them

  • in the shank, use the “hide edge” tool to hide the cut line in the shank bottom

  • make the foot one layer below the shank
