Create pipe cutting mold

Hi!

I'm new to Fusion 360 and I'm having a hard time creating a mold that fits me for tracing the cut line of the pipe. I found some tips on how to do this by converting the tube and plate, but this doesn't work for my more complex cases where I will be using 3D printed control devices.

I've already tried to create a sheet and combine bodies, I've tried extruding, but it deforms the cut lines... I don't know which tool to use to get to my goal.

Can anyone suggest something?

Exactly that! How do I do? I honestly don't know what the line of reasoning is to get to this.

Yellow tube is Circle > Extrude.

Mold is - draw blue face shape > Extrude > New Body.

Cut the hole - Modify > Combine

Select mold is target, and tube is cutter > set Cut, and

decide if keep cut tool is needed.
