Hi, I'm relatively new to 3d modeling as a whole and keep running into simple problems that are user error for the most part, but this problem is one that I'm not able to find any reference of anywhere. I'm pretty sure I'm just doing something wrong, I just don't know what!
My problem is that I'm attempting to slice apart a model using a plane, but when I do, there is a folder created like when normally slicing an object, however it contains 889 slices when I'm only expecting 2. Could I get some help to figure out what I'm doing wrong?

Re: slice apart tool
Hi and welcome to the forum!
You shouldn't slice with a plane that is coplanar to a face of the sliced object. Du to rounding issues, sometimes one and sometimes the other plane is above. On Boolean operations this leads to well known failures, here to the numerous slices.

ok, I think I understand. What should I do then to get the desired result?

Re: slice apart tool
Are you able.to move the plane a little bit? (On my phone, can't take a look at your model)

Actually yeah, that worked perfectly! Thanks. Just out of curiosity though, how would I split a part along a coplanar face if I had to, is it even possible?

Re: slice apart tool
Move th slicing plane a tiny bit to the left, i.e. set Placement.Position.x to -2.561. This is usually good enough for a manufacturing process,
