You could use Plugin(NewView) to create a view based on the mesh, then apply Plugin(CutPlane). You can then save the resulting view as an STL triangulation. (You could reload the triangulation and save it as a .mesh file afterwards.) > I guess it’s because I don’t have any post processing data loaded, because I > don’t have any post processing data. > > As an alternative I exported the mesh in the vtk-format and performed the > truncation in Matlab.
