The cut widget can be placed back in the initial position by clicking the Reset cut button. Note that this will also remove the connectors.

Enter an exact value [mm] in the context menu to set the cutting plane position on the Z axis. To change the rotation of the cutting plane, use the arrows on top of the cutting widget.

If the option to cut the object into parts is selected, the object will be split into two different sectors that can have different settings, but they will remain connected. Note that this option is not available if the Dovetail mode is selected.

If the option cut into parts is selected, it is possible to choose what happens to each new object: keep the current orientation, place the part where the cut was made down on the print surface, or flip the part upside down from the current orientation.

If planar mode is selected, the cut will be made on a straight plane wherever you place the cutting widget. With this widget, you can select where the cut will be placed in the Z, X, and Y axes.

Select the object and press the C key or pick the Cut tool from the left toolbar. A widget showing the cutting plane will appear on the object, and a context menu will appear on the left side menu. On the menu, you can choose Planar mode or Dovetail mode.

Under the axes information, you can add connectors between the cut parts. When this option is selected, a new menu will show to format the connector. Use the left mouse button to add a connector, and the right button to remove it.

If the cutting plane intersects the model in several different regions, you can select which parts to cut and which to keep connected by right-clicking them.

It is possible to choose if the cut will form two different objects, or if it will cut the same object into two different parts.

The Dovetail mode creates a pin and a tail in a trapezoidal shape on the cut plane. When this option is selected, the cut widget has the same movement as the planar mode, as well as an arrow to adjust the position of the tail. Under the axes information, it is possible to adjust the dimensions of the tail.

You can also hold down the Shift key and click on two points on the screen to quickly define a cutting plane. The cutting plane will be perpendicular to the current view.

You can also choose the plugs' style, shape, depth size, and rotation. If you wish to change the side of the cut for the plug and snap connectors, click on Flip cut plane.
