Cube Section

This document describes constructing a section of a cube by a plane perpendicular to one of the cube's diagonals in three steps: 1. Construct a cube and one of its diagonals. 2. Use the Perpendicular tool to construct a plane perpendicular to the diagonal. 3. Use the Cut of Polyhedron tool to view the section of the cube cut by the perpendicular plane, which takes on different shapes like triangles and hexagons as the plane is moved.
