I want to add another line here so I can split the face, and then move the body without it being attached. See picture below.

I am also wondering why some edges can’t be chamfered?

Sketch the line and add a construction plane.  
Use **Type** “Through Edge at Angle”. Then use the **Split Body** tool.
