3d modeling

Is it possible to cut solid 3d "smartsolid" using mesh?

How?

Thank you.

I mean cutting a solid with a surface?
for what I remember yes, but I have no microstation available, and so I can't try.

I better explain, I made a scan with laser-scanner, I got a cloud of points and turned it into a mesh, it's the hull of a boat.
Now I must be able to shape structural bulkheads against the surface of the hull.
structural bulkheads are regular geometries, i.e. parallelepipeds, therefore solids, I must be able to cut them using the surface of the hull. I turned it into a surface but it's not a solid yet, so I can't use it to cut solids.
how can I give a thickness to the surface... Actually this is possible, it is a banalita, the problem and that we are radiating on a very complex surface from both geometric and dimensional point of view in terms of kb.

Mah... to me it seemed yes, to cut a solid with a surface, but if you tell me that you can not

in fact it is trivial, and it is also true that it consumes a lot in terms of kb (or mb); however ................. But with the machines that are around now you should be able to do it smoothly.
I did something like that more than 10 years ago, with PC 10 years ago.......... I had to wait but he did.
In my case, I had to thicken everything, that is to make everything solid, to find the center of the solid itself.
