Question:

Can I split an implicit body along a plane?

Answer:

Yes, to do this:
    • Add a Plane from Normal or a Plane block
      • You can also use a CAD Face, convert it into an Implicit Body (with no thickness) and use that to cut your Implicit Body.
      • Add a Boolean Subtract block
        • Set the Primary Body to your Implicit Body
        • Set the Secondary Body to the Plane
To change which side is cut off, flip the direction of the Plane.
