How do I split a model into pieces
I'm sure this must be possible but I just dont know how.
I was sent a file of a model railway coach body which I want to 3d print but the model is
far to big for my printer
I need to break the model into pieces and then save each piece seperately as an STL file
I made a simplyfied picture to show what sort of thing I am trying to do .
The top picture shows a model as one complete block
The lower picture shows it as 4 pieces , each in a different colour
I need to break the model into 4 pieces and then save them as 4 seperate STL
files which I am then able to 3d print
I know i could take the whole model , and extrude cut the front three sections off and then save the
remaining last section , then reload the file and cut the first 2 sections and the last section and then save the remainder as the second piece etc , untill I have all 4 pieces saved but surely there is a more elegant solution ?

Use the "Split" feature to split the model into 4 parts, then save each part separately by double-clicking on each part under "Resulting Bodies"...
Is there a method to undo the split, edit the split location/angle, and edit the registration marks?
