<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">I would like to cut a tetrahedral mesh stored in *.mesh format and use it as dataset for a rapid prototyping printer.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Is there a way of performing a cut on a pure mesh in Gmsh?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">In the email archive, I found the description of using the “Cut Plane” plugin but I received an error: Error: View[-1] does not exist.
