Thanks, Atul. I just found out that I am mixing the usage of different kernels for my Plane_3 and Segment_3. Now the consistent kernel resolved the problem :-)

Cheers.

For me this function works fine.
Which Kernel you are using?
I am using

typedef CGAL::Simple_cartesian<CGAL::Gmpq>  Kernel;

-Atul

any hints？ probably just one simple setting or something, but don't know how...

Hi

I run into a strange issue when using CGAL::intersection(Plane_3, Segment_3) in version 3.4. The visual studio 2008 compiler keeps giving me this error message:

Error    84    error C2664: 'CGAL::Object CGAL::intersection<Kernel_>(const CGAL::Bbox_3 &,const CGAL::Segment_3<R_> &)' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'Plane_3' to 'const CGAL::Bbox_3 &'    ...

It requires the first input is the type of CGAL::Bbox_3, but the manual on CGAL::intersection clearly states that I can have two input objects : type 1 as Plane_3 and type 2 as Segment_3. This happens no matter I add a header file <CGAL/intersections.h> or not... Any ideas why it fails on Plane_3 input?

Thanks.
