Curved Angled Cut

[flotest]

I'm trying to remove the blue angled surface from my 3D model but can't figure out how to do it correctly. I've created a sketch on the surface but can't find the right tool to cut it out as shown in the attached images

Thanks in advance for any help

Hi,

delete double spline > create surface > split body

Thank you so much, I tried for 2 hours and couldn't find it and now it's so easy and done in a minute, thank you!

Hi! Without seeing the model, I can only speculate. Another approach to create the desirable geometry is to use Draft command. The "cut" looks like the face being tapered to an angle.

Many thanks!

Question - You were adamant about using "remove" and not "delete" - can you explain to a newbie why the difference is so significant?  Thank you 🙂

I think it should be pointed out that everything done was done poorly.

Do you want to learn how to do this all correctly, or is "good enough" good enough for your needs?

If you use Delete, you will probably introduce a error into you model since you will be removing graphic information that the remaining model needs.  Remove, on the other hand, will retain all graphics information and preserve the integrity of your model.  Watch in the Animated GIF where I delete the Split Body and an error appears.  I will then UNDO the operation and use Remove and you will not see the error.  Even Fusion will try and warn me not to use Delete.
