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.
