Thanks for the help, Marcus.  The solution that you gave me was not
quite what I was after but that was probably because I did not go into
enough detail.

So...  to my original description:

I should add that the data that I want to apply the cutting based on the
isosurface should not actually be assumed to be the same as that which
generated the isosurface.

So (and I hope that the detail is excused), if I have three sets of data
and I derive an isosurface in some way from the first, and create some
new set of data from calculations based on all three sets, then it is
this final data that I want to apply some cut based on the isosurface
generated previously.  More clarification can be provided if anyone
asks!

Making use of Marcus' suggestion I have used simple calculations to come
up with a flawed solution to the problem that I set but I have at least
sorted out some kind of integration scheme.

Are there any more generic methods that anyone can think of?

Many thanks again!
