Hello, I am currently trying to slice a 3d model along sequence of points specified in .csv file to create many slice of the 3d data perpendicular to the travel path.

I have a following files,

- model in vtp and vtu format
- sequence of data points (x,y,z coordinates) following the center of the model

so far, I have created a polyline(connection of data sets) using a programmable filter but couldn’t figure out how to slice a model at each data point perpendicular to the polyline.

Please share your data but please note there is not ideal way to slice a data with another data.
