Cutting structures along planes

Rather frequently one would like to delete all atoms which are at the top of a given horizontal plane. The same for atoms at the bottom of a given plane and for atoms which are leftmost or rightmost to a vertical plane. This can be easily achieved by

(Edit--->Delete atoms in  a region...) menu. By choosing, for instance the Plane cut region and the above button for the case of diamond the user define the position of the plane above which all atoms will be removed by moving the mouse and clicking the right-button mouse when finished. Similar effects occur for the other cases.
