Hi Victor,

There is no tool in CGAL that allows dividing an existing mesh in two halves. 

If you can define the domain of your problem as a segmented image, see http://www.cgal.org/Manual/last/doc_html/cgal_manual/Mesh_3/Chapter_main.html#Subsection_49.3.3

If not, you need to define your own multi-domain oracle (look at MeshDomain_3 concept in the reference manual). Mind you this requires solid knowledge of CGAL and is not a trivial task.

Hi all,

Here is the problem I'm facing now: Given a three-dimensional mesh, how can I split it in two separate parts?
This split-point should be a plane given determined, dividing the mesh in two hemispheres.

Regards,
