I dont understand what you mean by create a plane using the box as an
input.

Looking at your code it seems that you are trying to clip the box and
not the particles.

    	vtkClipPolyData clipper3
    	clipper3 SetInput [cubex GetOutput]
			  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    	clipper3 SetClipFunction plane3

Now since you do this all you will see is the box being cut and not
the particles.  You need to set the input to cut what polydata you
want to cut.  As I understand you want to cut the particles.  You can
use the AppendPolyData filter on the output of all your
vtkSphereSource and then use the output of this as the Input of
clipper3.  I guess that should work.
