cell fracture to chop ship in half?

Hey,

I need to break my spaceship in half like it’s been sliced open with a laser. is this possible using the cell fracture? All the tutorials I’ve seen for it are breaking the whole object into pieces but i’m looking to chop it along a specific point.

So, you don’t need cell fracture addon.

You can to that in edit mode with bisect , knife or intersect.
And in object mode with boolean modifier.
It is easy to cut one thing in half.

Lots of pieces, it is difficult without the addon. It is the reason of its existence.

But yes, you can use one Grease Pencil line as source and mesh will be sliced perpendicularly to it.
It is far to be more intuitive and efficient than bisect.

many thanks
