I had a body, it can export to .stl. So I want to slice the body into 2 parts and export as 2 separate .stl. I created a plane, then split the body. On my screen I can see two bodies, they are both solid. I can isolate body 1, then export that to .stl without a problem, but when I then isolate the 2nd sliced off body, I get an error message “Export Failed; Create a body and turn on its visibility to include it in the export”.
Kinda daft since I’m looking at the body on the screen. What am I doing wrong?
Should state that if I display both bodies (they have been separated) I can output as a single .stl file.
OH NEVER MIND IT WILL NOW….. NOT THAT I DID ANYTHING DIFFERENT

Since you already got it working so maybe this can be useful in the future.
If you just want to split part into half to fit into a build plate, you can split in slicer. If you need more accuracy or know the exact location you need the split you can push or pull the location or input xyz data.
If you split in shapr and export as single STL it is still 2 parts, in the slicer it’s just temporarily joined. In the slicer you can do Split to Objects command and they become 2 different objects.
This is how it works in Bambu Slicer but other slicer should have similar features.
Thanks. I did export the one file with the two split parts into Anycubic’s slicer, but it would not allow me to move them around as separate entities.
I think much of todays issue was that my computer RAM and processing was going from bad to pretty sluggish. I’m currently running diagnostics to check for issues and defragment the drive. Whatever was going on, both shapr3D and my Lychee slicer were taking their toll on the PC.
