Hello Sebastien! I've tried the example
polyhedron_self_intersection.cpp, and it looks like what I need. Now,
if I want to use it to find intersection of two sphere-shaped
polyhedra - what would be the easiest way to do it? From reading the
forum, it seems that I need to triangulate two spheres first, then
apply convex_hull to them, which in turn can be converted to polyhedra
(dynamic_hull_3.cpp), is this correct or is there a shorter way?

Do you mean intersecting polyhedra? That would be great. Thanks!
