Hi all,

I would like to know about how CGAL's undocumented
polyhedron_cut_plane_3 function cuts a polyhedron. In particular, what
are the purpose of I_polyhedron_cut_component, and how the result of
I_Construct_point_3 contributes to the general algorithm? It is my
understanding that the latter works on a kind of plane intersection,
but I don't get the idea of how the result is used to determine the
new vertices.

Thank you.

Best regards,
Nicholas
