Parting Line on Lofted Part

I need to add a parting line to the attached part.  I need the line on the YZ plane.  It seems like a simple add, but I'm not getting the right solution to generate.  Any ideas?

 

Thanks.

 

Edit: To clarify, I am talking about using the draft feature, not just adding a sketch.

"Project Cut Edges" might be what you're after, otherwise if you want to split the part along the plane, the "split" tool is the one to use.

Hi! Yes, as Arron mentioned, Project Cut Edges will work. Also, 3D Silhouette Curve (3D Sketch) should work too.

Many thanks!

i don't think the draft feature works on non-planar surfaces...

it should work for the top if you select your plane for both the parting line and the pull direction, then select that face.

as for the curved sides: i think the best way would be a sweep of the desired profile, or simple extrusions.
