- The new Planar Cut Tool lets you cut your 3D model in multiple parts quickly and easily. You can even select the parts you want to cut for more control over your result.

Nice explanation!
Just one thing to add - since in planar cut mode we don't have fine controls over the position or angle of the cutting-plane (we can move & rotate freely with the mouse but without idea how much precisely, nor there's an option to set a number as with normal objects),
but still, if you hold Shift and then rotate or move there's a snap-like functionality: Shift rotation works in steps of 15 degrees, which is very convenient if you want to get some exact angles like 90, 45, 30 or 60.
Shift move works in steps of 5mm. One square on the base plate I believe is 10mm, and so Shift-move goes in half of that.
Thanks, holding the shift button helps a lot. Would love if they added fine controls too though. Cheers!
Hello Thomas, nice to see innovative add ons to a very good app. I have a suggestion, perhaps pins and holes that can fit into each other just like used in regular industrial products to hold parts together can be added into the model inside lychee. Btw I live in Turkey, 1 Euro is 19 TL. So unless someone makes money out of 3d printing, pro/premium subscription is a bit overkill for us.
Great function! Now it is Easy to split larger prints into several parts on an userfriendly easy way! Thanks!
this single feature made me buy a subscription... no more using blender! Thanks team lychee
We are happy to know that you like it :)
Oh hell yes! This is looking really good!
Thank you. This is worth the cost alone
feature request: could you make the plane have keys/registration marks to make reassembly of the physical models easier? Thank you!
Cool... but only one concern, there's no rotation, position box to input numeric values on axis? How can I do to reset the angle of rotation? I mean if I tested to rotate a plane eyeballing the orientation and then I want to put rotation at 0 again.
We will add numerical input in a future update. This tool is currently in V1.0. We have quite a lot additions to do to it!
This is awesome - will there be a development that will add a "model fitter" (no idea what it is called) - that within the cut creates like a "lego-pin" (maybe even with a selection of space between?)... Hope my explanation is enough - really have no idea what it is called in english. :)
Yes, we will add it later :)
Any chance this will get an auto notch and key function?
In the future, yes :)
This is what I would like as well.
I am having issues with this tool: When defining the cutting plane, there is no way to select cutouts. No matter the angle or position, the software doesnt recognize any part of the models as shown in this video, making it impossible to select/deselect anything or apply the cut. Am I missing something?
I'm having the same problem.
I am having the same problem.
I also have this issue. Glad I wasn't the only one. I see this post is a year old, and Lychee checks for updates on launch, but I am still having this same issue.
In the last days I've noticed two more problems with planar cut:
- 1st, the more annoying (sometimes blocking!) is that sometimes planar cut doesn't work! It either doesn't react on the apply button, or it just closes the planar-cut view, and does nothing.
- 2nd, it's not blocking problem, but it seems Lychee highlights (in white) wider area around the cut-plane and it makes it difficult to see if you've positioned it where you want it (if you need precise position and there are many details around).
The first problem must be fixed, or the planar cut would never be full-fledge feat!
If there's a valid reason for it to refuse cutting a message or some indicator must be shown! (similar to how invalid holes are marked in red for example)
To give you example to reproduce it:
Open the The "Cones of Calibration-TableFlip Foundry.stl" in Lychee, and try to cut it vertically, so that only the two thinnest SUCCESS cones are left (ie separated from the other 3).
The thinnest success cones are on the side with the plus.
We need a key function to assembly when cut model with planar function
that's the best feature yet as one doesn't have to break out blender to do a cut in the middle of a model. But it keeps crashing the programm for me since a few weeks.
Please contact our tech support, it should not!
I did exactly what you explained but it doesn't work :(
cut dont work if u merge more then 2 things to geather..
stupid question but do resin slicers dont have the options to add conectors to the cut? for example on fdm in bambu u can add a connector to the cut..
Hi, that's a very good question. With the "Merge" feature, you can add connectors to your 3D models🙂
That would be nice. Where is that feature, and does it apply to resin prints?

I've updated to 6.0.2 and Lychee always crashes when applying the Planar cut, any ideas?
Hi, you can contact our support team or message us on Discord so we can identify the source of the problem.
Why cant we cut at a layer or specified height? Been paying a year for the same features.
Thanks for your feedback, we'll be working on improving this feature as soon as possible 🙂
I can use this on some stl files but not others for some reason. Its like wont interact with some if the files.? Other files it'll work with out a problem, what could be the reason for this?
Are you models in red color in Layout workspace? Because it's one of the main reason as the topology is in error. Also, it depends of your cut plane position and some very specific model. But without screenshots or scenes, it's difficult to tell.
The big probleum whive this tool ise tou define a precise number auf Z axisse to put a number to where you want to cut yor modèle
I have the latest download of lychee and im on the free trial for pro right now. I dont see the "tool" section to the right thats on your screen. how do i fix this
You may need to download our latest version on our server at mango3d.io/downloads
If you grab the installer before our release, you may have mis this update, we didn't enabled (yet) the auto update system.
Can you give an example of why someone would use this? If a model is too big to fit in the print volume, but can be cut into pieces that collectively fit?
Exactly. Or sometime you just want to remove a part that you don't want to print.
@@Lychee3d If I want to print sliced pieces together on the plate, is there a command that aligns and places a sliced face on the plate (since I might make the slice at an angle to the plate and have to straighten the sliced piece)?
The latest update made the feature pretty bad, it now has a huge UI band and its hard to line up the very center of this highlight to cut exactly what you want except with a lot of trial and error.
Punaise, vous ne pouvez pas faire vos vidéos en Français et laisser les anglophones ou autres langues se débrouiller avec la traduction de RUclips, en plus l'accent est insupportable, j'en ai les oreilles qui saignent !!!
The person has a very nice accent and speaks english very well.
Typiquement le français qui pense qu'à sa gueule la majorité de la communauté parle anglais son choix est donc tout-à-fait logique.
À vous de vous plier à cette contrainte qui n'est que votre ;)
