Slice a solid along a plane or by 3 points (equivalent to AutoCAD's SLICE command) ??

Question

I have been having a hard time trying to figure out a simple method that was done in AutoCAD. This is slice. 
 So, I have an object that needs to be slice along a specified plane. 
 I was able to get "Cut Solids By Curves" to work once before, but it is not working anymore. It is telling me "Unable to cut Solid" which makes no sense. I created a simple block, created a cutting plane with two lines. Told it to slice at that plane. Then it tells me I can't. ??ugh 
 Is there another tool that can do this function that is easier? Either slice along a plane or by points to define a plane.

Figured it out. The cutting line must pass all the way through the object. Why is it you can't even slice along a defined plane easily. Come on Bentley, get with the program...Why does everything have to be so tedious and drawn out with your software? Autocad: Slice, pick object, XY/YZ/XZ/3 Point plane (NO LINES NEEDED), Pick Point, (Both Sides), done... Microstation: Draw a line, draw another line, extend line through object, Cut by curves, pick object, pick point, click little green arrow thing's grips, rotate ACS, goof with little green arrow thing that really doesn't many any sense, accept, pray it works. 
 And it's not just this. Everything I've encountered while using this software for the last year is more involved, more tedious, more steps, to get to the same simple end of something simple.
