Slice a mesh with the Multi-Cut Tool

You can use the Multi-Cut Tool to slice polygons along a plane, and then extract or delete faces above or below the cut.

1. Select the mesh you want to slice.
2. Open the Multi-Cut Tool.
3. Click on either side of your mesh to define two slice points.

   An orange slice preview line appears between the slice points. This line represents the slice plane.
