Now let's add a cutaway view. In the Create area, we will click Breakout Section View. Click that button.
The view we want is our side view. Click it one time. The cut profile is a spline, so we'll click a few times to create a circular spline right on this upper stem.
Once we've clicked about four times, there is a green checkbox we can click to finish up our profile. Right away, Fusion makes that cut. It's based on the measure half-depth, which is perfect, so all we need to do is click OK.
