Can't control which piece of resulting element is kept after using Cut Solid with Curve tool

Problem

When using the Cut Solid with Curve tool to cut solids, I cannot control which portion of the resulting cut element is kept.

Solution

After selecting the cutting profile with the Cut Solid with Curve tool, press the Shift key to invert the side of the cut. Then issue a data point to complete the cut.

Regular Cut: select solid to cut > select profile to cut with > data point

Inverted Cut (using Shift key): select solid to cut > select profile to cut with > press Shift key > data point
