The Mesh TrimByPlane command trims faces and parts of faces on one side of a plane from a mesh object.

Select a single mesh object and a single Part plane. The (extended) plane should intersect the mesh object.
Select the Meshes → Cutting → Trim mesh with a plane option from the menu.
The Trim by plane dialog box opens.
Select the side you want to keep by pressing one of the buttons:
- Below
- Above
- Split: removes the faces and parts of faces above the plane, and creates a new mesh object containing them.

Miscellaneous: Import mesh, Export mesh, Create mesh from shape, Regular solid, Unwrap Mesh, Unwrap Face
Modifying: Harmonize normals, Flip normals, Fill holes, Close hole, Add triangle, Remove components, Remove components by hand, Smooth, Refinement, Decimation, Scale

Boolean: Union, Intersection, Difference
Cutting: Cut mesh, Trim mesh, Trim mesh with a plane, Create section from mesh and plane, Cross-sections
Components and segments: Merge, Split by components, Create mesh segments, Create mesh segments from best-fit surfaces
