Cutting Part of an Object

I am trying to remove part of an object, specifically the middle bit shaded in red


I’ve tried the subtract, extrude, and split body tools but I don’t think I’m using them right because I can’t figure out how to delete just the middle.

Select the face of your body you want to modify and choose sketch. Now you can draw the lines where you want the cut points. Then jump out of sketch mode and select the center of the body’s face and drag it down to cut it from the body you want to remain. Should work.

Any flat face of any body can become your new sketch plane. You can sketch on the face to extrude a new body or a new aspect of the body or cut a hole or unique cut-out into the body.

Thank you! I think my problem was I was trying to do too big of a section all at once because I divided it up like in your example and it worked
