Merge only selected edge of surface/convert inner quilt edge to outer

For reasons of convenience I would like to have a closed surface where one of the edges is open in Creo Parametric. A simple example could be a surface of revolution that is swept 360 degrees but has a open edge where the surfaces meet. Below is a artificially created image, where the sweep angle is close to but not exactly 360 degrees.

 

Revolved surface with open edge (but not quite closed)Revolved surface with open edge (but not quite closed)

 

So i am wondering is there:

 

  1. A way to split a self enclosed surface at one and only one edge?
  2. A way to merge only said edge and not all edges?
  3. Convert inner edge to outer edge?

This would be handy at times.

Is this what you need? The cone is split and then flattened (yellow). Creo 9 model enclosed for reference.

Divide surface which is available in Creo 9+ as a core modelling feature. Depending on what you are attempting to do subsequent to this it may provide a solution.

Just note ...

Resulting quilt is still divided into 2 pieces.
