I need to remove a square section that’s in the middle of a modell. Do I have to use 4 cut lines edge to edge of the model, or is there some method of cutting it out without those long cut lines?
Thanks

You could try a negative cube or a boolean subtraction with a cube.

To me more clear, I have a city scape with a building. I want to separate them so they can be printed separately.I can do booleans where I added a cube with the building in it. But after I’m done, I can’t separate the cube from the building. Am I doing that wrong?

Mhm, that is going in the CAD direction. But you should be able to clone the citiscape with the cube onto another plate, and then use the difference boolean on one and the intersection on the other.
You’d have a cityscape with a hole on one plate and the cut-out building on the other.
You may need to do a bit converting between objects, parts and assemblies though to ensure the cube position is identical in both.

Yeah, trying that. I draw a cube around the building. Then I merge the scape and the building. Then I go to Boolean and fill in the Difference inputs, but I don’t get the building. I get the cube or the scape. In fact when I try to use Intersection, it says the cube and scape have no connected areas.
Am I using Boolean right?

Do you get an orange warning in the lower right that your cityscape mesh has open vertices? You can right click and let windows repair it. Otherwise, Boolean will run into problems.
It could be much simpler though. Remember that you need to clone your assembly to perform different Boolean operations on each and that the order in which you select the parts matters.

Yeah, no errors to fix. Giving up on this method and will use the cut method to isolate the building, then re-unite the surrounding pieces back together. Thanks.
