Non-Linear Plane Cut - help with how-to?

[Anonymous]

Hi Guys,

I've downloaded Fusion 360 tonight by way of Hobbyist access. I will eventually go through and learn how to use the program to create my own items, however tonight through a little bit of Youtube help and a little bit of fumbling around in the dark, I've worked out how to;

Import an stl

Rescale that stl

Cut that stl in half

Resave both halves of that stl, as stl files so I can whack them into the Cura Slicer for printing

What I can't seem to work out though, is how to make non-linear cuts into a model. My model has a hex pattern and I'd really like to be able to make the cut along the area where the hex edges meet (so a kind of zig zag cut), rather than just just hexes in half.

Could someone kindly point me in the right direction in how to go about this, please?
