      I am trying to intersect a model at .75" intervals. I need to seperate it so i can machine the pieces out of a .75" piece of wood. So I basically just want to slice the model, but I cannot get it split. Any help would definitely be helpful. I know the model doesnt look the best, but its the best I could do so far.

        Hi Betacrash, hi folks.

        Do the cutting inside the group that contains the neck.

        You don't need to redraw all the cutting planes. Just copy them all and, when inside the group, use "Paste in place". Then do the intersection. Go back outside the group and delete the cutting planes. As an alternative, you may "Cut" them outside instead of "Copy" and paste them inside. That way, you save the deleting step but there is always the risk of loosing what you have cut.

        Just ideas.
