I’m attempting my first go at Fusion 360 for a new project. What I’m looking to cut will is a monitor stand and have to be done in pieces then glued. Does anyone know how to slice into pieces with fusion?

I think I understand what you are thinking of doing. I’m not sure if Fusion has an easy way to do this, but you can get AutoDesk 123Make for free and load in a solid model then slice it into sections. It’s a pretty neat program, you can create interlocking slices or just stacked slices then export is in a couple different file formats.

Hi Andrew, have you tried the Split Body command in the Modify menu in the Model workspace?

You should be able to split any body along any surface, including a plane. Won’t be as easy or fast as 123Make, but you won’t have to export/import files.
