why cant you project geometry onto a 2d sketch and use that sketch to split a surface? you have to first extrude the sketch as a surface before you can use it with split tool.
why cant you pick segments of a 2d sketch to use with in a 3d sketch '3d intersection curve' tool? again you have to extrude the sketch as a surface before you can choose which segments you want to use.
just curious why this extra step of extruding the surface first is needed, or if its worth adding to the wishlist

yes, this allows you to choose just the segments of the 2d sketch you want to use, why #2 answered by the ever informative dennis

thanks dennis, this works if the curves you are projecting cross the whole face you are trying to split but not if they dont. currently i do a 2d sketch, project the geometry, if its easy add a tangent extension line to cover the whole surfece i want to split, if not extrude the projected geometry line and extend surface to cover the surface i want to split. a 2d sketch of normal geometry will automatically extend the cut line to cover the whole face you want to split

This is an example part, mine is a lot more complicated but not allowed to post. i have come across this quite a few times.
i would like to just split the cylinder using sketch 3. shown is how i achieve this at the moment. my concern is that extending edges is not the same as extending the sketch lines, especially when arcs are involved
thanks for looking

thanks, that doesnt seem to work with arcs that have been projected onto a workplane at an angle

no derived surfaces, its one of these organic shapes i have previously posted about, for an acrylic viewport protect on a submarine
