Hello!

I would just like to know from someone more experienced if this operation is possible:

To the left I have a cube. To the right I have the cube cut by an arbitrary plane, black.

Any example of how to do this in Julia? Does not have to be Meshes.jl, can be any other package in Julia.

Kind regards
