[pstricks] can planes be fused with \pSolid surfaces? a desperate plea

I'm repeating in modified form a posting from yesterday, since I've had no response so far and am getting desperate for a solution.
I want to draw a surface cut by a vertical plane, taking advantage of the lightsource and line-hiding features of \pst3d-solides.
Herbert sent me code earlier yesterday which worked beautifully to draw two intersecting objects of type \psSolid[object=surface.
I want to replace one of these with an object \psSolid[object=plan, (defined by a normal vector, etc.)
When I take Herbert's code and modify it as follows: replace second surface with plane, comment out \psSolid[object=fusion,
and change all action=none to action=draw**, I get a reasonable picture:
(I have also added a \psset{solidmemory} at the start and a \composeSolid at the end, although his program as written
worked fine without them.)

The same phenomenon happens if instead of a \psSolid[object=plan I substitute a \psSolid[object=vecteur.
So does fusion work ONLY with objects of type surface?
(Does it work, for example, with surfaceparametree?)
Since I can't create a vertical plane with object=surface (it is not a graph),
how can I create the picture above, but with the part of the plane "under" the surface hidden?
