you can use a boolean modifier, make the shape of the piece you wanna cut out and then you can just take it out of the whole pie shape

[YourPeepingTom]

also the knife tool just makes the cuts, you have to delete what you want after

ok so how do i find the boolean modifier and is there a good tutorial for it?

[YourPeepingTom]

its in the section with the wrench icon, theres also a blender add on called the booltool that makes it a lil easier that you can enable in your user preferences. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SMIlZddICDg

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kTPn2aiycQY that's one for the bool tool if you'd rather use that

[YourPeepingTom]

you can manually cut the slice out but using a boolean is just easier and faster usually

wow i cant belive you wrote back so fast with so much help i will check these tutorials out as soon as i can!

[YourPeepingTom]

ye ye for sure mate o/ hope it helps, also be sure that you apply your transforms to your mesh before you put the modifier on it, or you can have some weird problems

Hold up, why not just select the faces, delete them and then bridge the edges to close the hole?

[Xx_Tickle_Prostate_Examiner_xX]

im not quite shure how to do that is the thing.

Ok, in Edit mode press 3 to go to face mode, select the stuff you want deleted then press X and select "faces"

Alternatively if you want to keep the 2 things separated you can go in edit mode, press 3 to go to face mode, then select 1 part and press space, write "separate" and then press "selected", so then you will get 2 different objects.

Ok I will try both methods hopefully they work!

ok so with the boolen modifier the object will stay but if you hide it the cuts show. so if i have the object hidden is it just hidden in blender or is it hidden in things like unity too?

[YourPeepingTom]

for the boolean modifier once you get it how you want (I use booltool cause it shows you with invisible bounding box stuff) you apply it and it cuts it and deletes the mesh used to do it with, then you just have the cut out mesh left for whatever you want
