Cannot split a file

Version 2.8.1 I am trying to split the base from https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4712667 and use dowels to join it but I get the following error PrusaSlicer has a warning: Open edges or errors were detected after the cut.Do you want to fix them by Windows repair algorithm?" I click Yes and then try to export the parts, I get Error: Unable to perform boolean operation on model meshes. Only positive parts will be exported. I can export everything but the sides of the base do not have the holes where the dowels should go. Anyone know how to fix it? Thank you.

Wow! Almost a year later with no answer and the problem still happens. Doesn't matter what kind of file I try to split,

RE: Cannot split a file

Works for me!

the Base did have errors, I did use the repair algorithm 

I applied three joiners and both pegs and holes appeared


I tried cutting in a different plane 

that worked as well...

I try to make safe suggestions,You should understand the context and ensure you are happy that they are safe before attempting to apply my suggestions, what you do, is YOUR responsibility.Location Halifax UK
