How to cut a project in half.

[coambs]

I am trying to build a mould. I created the outer shell, and realized that I would never get the casting out. I tried cutting the print in half so I could re print two halves. I am new and have no idea what I am doing! My file looks like only one half but when I put it into Cura I still get the whole object. Obviously I did something wrong, I am attaching the file. Could someone show me how to end up with only half of this? I am going to try lost pla casting this into brass.

I searched previous problems but don't really know what to search for. I need to learn the lingo.

Thank you

David

The Section Analysis tool is only a graphics tool to help you work inside Fusion 360, it has no effect on your exported model for 3D printing.  You did a correct Split Body, so what you want to do is outlined in the Screencast, Save as Mesh one of the bodies to an STL or 3MF file for 3D printing.

John, Thank you. My project got kind of delayed. 

I will have a go at it.
