A method of constructing a test for intersection between a plane and a connected compact polyhedron with a finite number of vertices is proposed. Using linear programming, the intersection test is transformed to compute the range of a linear function, and then test to see whether it contains zero. A complexity analysis of the algorithm and computer experiment examples are presented.
