Dividing airliner fuselages

[N96HBK]

I know there was a thread or a post explaining how to divide a fuselage (airliner) in to seperate parts, but I can't find it....... I want to cut the PR B757 fiselage since it's too long for me....can anyone help?

If you are using Inkscape........select the entire part you want to split.........

Duplicate it.......... CTL+D or Copy it CTL +C

Move it if Duplicated or Paste if Copied to the area outside your page area

On Original part remove section you want to be a separate part.........panel lines, windows, etc........ Make the outline fit the new section you have just made (what you have left of the part after removing the panel line, windows, etc)

Go to duplicated/copies part........ remove parts from the section that matches the new smaller original part, windows, panel lines, etc.......... make outline fit new part

Move new part to clear area on your page or copy to new page..........

hope this isn't too confusing.........
