Hi, I'm trying to get this to slice in cura 5.6.0

Yellow block is set as a cutting mesh. Can Cura just not ignore stuff outside of the bulid area?

iso top bottom

I'm open to suggestions on how to cut it outside of cura as well. I tried meshmixer, but the import absolutely destroys the stl stl iso

Thanks!

Cura can ignore what's below buildplate as long as part isn't too big for X Y axes. For cutting this, I would use 3d builder. Very easy to use. Just open model, and go to modify to cut model
