Hi Ali,


I would add the thickness first using Insert>Boss/Base>Thicken, which will give you a solid body. You can then cut this up using the normal Extruded Cut features.

Ali,

You can split up the original surface using split lines. However... please attach a picture of your geometry so we can help you in greater detail.
