How to create a curved construction plane?

Anonymous

I am working on creating a whale pencil holder and need to cut off a large section to make it look more whale-like.  I've tried to use split body but I can't seem to create a curved plane.  Any suggestions on how to create a curved plane or any other ideas on how I could do it?Screen Shot 2018-01-25 at 3.01.55 PM.pngScreen Shot 2018-01-25 at 3.01.46 PM.png

Not sure if your just using the wrong terminology but you can't create a curved construction plane you can sketch on but you can create curved surface patches. Switch to the patch workspace and create a curved patch, this is assuming you need a surface curved in 2 directions. If you just need a curve in one direction just draw a curve and use that to split the body.
