Prusa slicer 2.6.0 alpha 5 cut feature

Hello,I have downloaded Prusaslicer 2.6.0 alpha 5 mainly to use the ‘cut’ feature.I am trying to print a Thingiverse file namely reliable Shannon class lifeboat but the length of the hull is 571mm which is too large for the print bed.I have tried using the cut feature by rotating the hull onto it’s stern but I get the bottom piece together with multiple other pieces on the build plate.How do I move and save these pieces please

RE: Prusa slicer 2.6.0 alpha 5 cut feature

I left the hull flat on the bottom. perform a cut on the front 1/3. Add connectors click add connectors the left click on the part to add the connectors. You can rotate the cut plane by 90 degrees to perform the cut. Also selected the front part to rotate on cut. Deselect all parts then select the back and repeat adding connectors and this time select both parts to rotate on cut. Save the project as 3parts.3mf. if you're printing one part at a time delete the other 2 and save them off as front.3mf,back.3mf,middle.3mf. Reload 3parts each time to load all the parts. The connectors need to be moved on the print plate and printed also. you should delete the connectors where you don't want to print them.
