Grasshopper control clipping plane with plane input

Ah right, of course you need access directly to ActiveDoc because Grasshopper.

This script works:

__author__ = "jesterking"

import Rhino

# create an ObjRef
_cp = Rhino.DocObjects.ObjRef(cp)
# get the Plane out from the clipping plane
_cppl = _cp.ClippingPlaneSurface().Plane
# now transform the clipping plane by passing its GUID
# and a new transform that is created from the clipping
# plane to the new plane
Rhino.RhinoDoc.ActiveDoc.Objects.Transform(
    cp,
    Rhino.Geometry.Transform.PlaneToPlane(
        _cppl,
        plane
    ),
    True
)

It works with this definition:

The model has a box and one clipping plane, the definition will allow you to move the clipping plane on the Y axis.
