Slicing/seperate of solid with 3D polyline

Dear all,

I would like to slice/separate a solid with a 3d PL as illustrated with selected line below. Have tried direct modeling of edges, points, slicing with 3dfaces, but did not get satifactory result. No idea whether chamfer is possible. Any hints welcome.

Best

Sebastian

    Sebastian,

    I am very new to 3D modelling so I don't know if this is in any way the correct way to do it but I copied your 3dpolyline upwards sufficiently to cover all the top part of your shape and then LOFT between the two 3dpolylines.

    I then used SUBTRACT to remove the top part of your shape, if that is what you were trying to achieve.

    Sebastian,

    After a bit more experimenting, I exploded your 3dpolyline, deleted the two sides,

    and lofted the top and bottom lines together to give me a surface.

    This then allowed me to slice your Solid into two parts using the Surface option in case you needed the top half for any reason.

    Does he want a multi-curved surface, or two triangles joined by a diagonal fold/arris line?

    I didn't know you cd do a non-planar Slice - thanks.

    @David Waight thanks for the idea. I think that'll do.

    @Tom Foster thanks for replying. I don't know what "cd" in this context means

    Sorry, cd is my shorthand for could. Shdn't do it
