Two simple planes and an intersection operation can help here.
Remember that a plane has two sides. The space on the top side of
the plane is free space but everything on the other side is
_inside_ the plane. The visible plane is just the surface
of the infinite deep sea below.
Now one can intersect multiple planes to create new objects.
A box for example is an intersection of six planes.
To cut out an angle from your sor (but this works with most objects)
you can let it intersect with a union of two planes. The cut space
must be "above" both of the planes and therefore not within them.
This works because an Intersection is rendered as the surface of
the space of which can be said it is within every participating object.
The following scene explains it better.
#include "colors.inc"
background { rgb <1, 1, 0.75>*0.9 }
#declare cam_theta = 60;
#declare cam_phi = 30;
#declare cam_r = 8.0;
#declare cam_angle = 45;
camera {
location -cam_r*z
sky y
up <0,image_height/image_width,0>
right <1,0,0>
look_at <0,0.5,0>
angle cam_angle
rotate -(cam_theta-90)*x
rotate -cam_phi*y
}
light_source {

Do the intersection above with your favourite object.
of both planes but both planes directly. Just figure out
for which space it can be said it is within every of the
intersecting objects.

Well, I certainly have solved this problem of the portions and revolutions
solids, thank you both (long time ago). Now I have other problem, I am
making a rotation and translation over these hole intersections that
produce the portions of the objects and something is wrong, I have tried
rotation and then translation and inverse but the result is not the
expected. I think that when you make a rotation you also rotate the X,Y,Z
axis, I dont know how to solve this...can anyone help me? Maybe there's
something with relative and absolute positions.
THANKS A LOT FOR YOUR HELP!
