I have a curved plane and I want to make a diagonal cut that follows it, I use this method:

  1. With the loop cut tool I divide the inferior portion of the plane.
  2. I use ctrl+T to triangulate the faces of each vertical section, that lets me generate a diagonal that follows the curve. The result looks like the image bellow.
  3. I delete the faces and I get the result I want

enter image description here

But, is there a better way to do it? Something like selecting 2 vertices and generating the diagonal between them, or something like the loop cut tool but in diagonal and around curves.

I ask because I may to need to repeat this process some times with my model and maybe there is a quicker way to do it.

If you want the cut through existing vertices, you coud start by selecting 2 vertices on the diagonal you want followed, and use CtrlShiftNumpad +, Select Next Active, followed by J, Connect.

enter image description here

Hold down CtrlShiftNumpad +, to select continuously. J will connect all the vertices in their selection order.

This is a low-effort answer, I was just going to post it as a comment, but decided it needed a screenshot to illustrate the point.

Use the Bisect Tool: Example
