Slice geometry with ICE

I am using Slice node to slice geometry with another one, but I am facing problem when geometry that slice becomes concave.
Image will explain better.

How to overcome this, any tips?

Oof! see what you mean, but what slice node? the slice polygon?

Yeah, Slice polygon. Problem is that it creates infinite planes. Right now I am examining Guillaume 'Cut between two vertices' node to see how and if I can implement this. Still learning ICE and ...

OK I found one possible solution, just to delete vertices that are outside of slicing geometry.

Yeah I couldnt figure out how you were defining the bounding polygon shape, it looked like you were slicing with some kind of Boolean - because the slice polygon node uses just an infinite plane (a vector point with a normal) and it shouldnt really care if the original geometry is concave or convex?

Im still learning ICE modelling too!

I figured it out.
