[Gmsh] Dipping plane through cylinder

Hello everyone,

I am trying to mesh a cylinder (borehole) intersected by a dipping 
horizon (geological layer boundary). Can you give me some hints how to 
accomplish this? Do I have to calculate and specify the intersecting 
plane and incorporate it already in the cylinder or is there a more 
elegant way to do this (i.e. a gmsh function that takes care of the 
intersection, i.e. that the plane can solely be defined by 3 or 4 points) ?



Best regards
Florian
