I want to use geometry nodes to cut out the part of a 2D plane that lies inside a cube.
As a minimal setup, I just added a plane to the exisiting default cube and scaled it up by 3:
When applying the follwing geometry nodes to the plane (simply adding a 'Mesh Boolean' node, setting it to 'Intersect' and combining the plane's geometry with that of the cube) I can get the intersection quite nicely. It even works when rotating the plane in the 3D Viewport (by pressing R or entering angles in the sidebar).
However, for some rotation angles, the output geometry suddenly switches to a volume, consisting of the cutout of the plane and the part of the cube below it:
(The angles in this example are X: -23.5°, Y: -128°, Z: -104°.)
I assume this happens because boolean intersect is made for two volumes, not a volume and a plane. Indeed, adding some thickness to the plane seems to remove the issue. However, I want to add further nodes to modify the cutout of the plane, and it having thickness really complicates that.
Using geometry nodes, is there any simple workaround for this, without replacing the plane by a volume?
I also tried adding 'Subdive Mesh' nodes to the geometry of the plane and/or the cube. This sometimes removes the issue for a specific angle, but it's never completely gone.
I'm running Blender version 3.4.1.
