- You can also rotate the cutting plane using the handles around it.

- The resulting halves of the model will be displayed in the editing area.

Note that 3D Builder only supports certain file formats (STL, 3MF, OBJ, ...), so make sure that your 3D file is in a format that 3D Builder can read (don't try to open a ZIP archive for example !). Also, be aware that cutting a complex model can result in many small pieces, which may be difficult to work with.
