How do I select body when using Plane Cut

I created a plane that I wish to split my body on.

 

From the ensuing Plane Cut modal, I can not get any of the bodies to select.

 

I have clicked on everything in the Select call to action/CTA in the toolbar - to no avail.

 

Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong - or missing? Thank you in advance.

Please attach your model.  If you do not know how to attach your Fusion 360 model follow these easy steps. Open the model in Fusion 360, select the File menu, then Export and save as a F3D or F3Z file to your hard drive. Then use the Attachments section, of a forum post, to attach it.

Your body is a Solid body, you need to use Split Body in the Solid Environment instead of the Mesh Environment.  Model is attached.

 

By the way, You would be a lot better off to enable Capture Design History in your designs.

Wow, I seriously have some Fusion 360 gaps to fill. Many thanks!

 

Yeah, I had design history turned on but saw in this linked video that I had to turn it off to allow Mesh tools, which seeing your solution, wasn't the path that I should have even ventured on.

 

Again, many, many thanks! People like you make this an incredible community!
