Make sure
you select the front, back, and bottom of the front and back lip as shown in the following
graphic. The selections are marked darker in the graphic. It is also a good idea
to lock your selection. The Lock icon appears at the bottom of the interface.
When that icon is highlighted yellow, whatever you have selected will be locked and
will not be deselected until you disable the Selection Lock.
2. When all the necessary polygons are selected, go to the Edit Geometry rollout and
click the Slice Plane tool as shown here. When you select the Slice Plane tool, a yellow
wire box will surround the selected polygons; this is the Slice Plane gizmo. Position/
rotate the gizmo where you want to slice your polygon, as shown in Figure 4.55.
The keyboard shortcut for the Selection Lock toggle is the spacebar.

3. Until now, when you have selected a polygon, it turned solid red in the viewport. You
can change it to display as outline when a polygon is selected, and not as solid red. You
will need to do this so you can see the new edges you are creating. To turn off Shaded
Edge mode, press F2. Your selected polygons will now show red only around the edges.
