Blender Cut with a Plane

I have created a tube like object that has different radius sizes every 5 cm. I took this tube and put a cube around it. Cut out the form of this tube out of the cube (boolean modifier, difference).

Now I have a cube that has a hole through it with the form of the tube. I would like to position a plane at the center of this cube and cut it in half. Boolean Modifier does not work. Difference only gives me one half of the cube. But I want two pieces. Subdivide the cube faces and select the vertices and separate is great, but leaves the inner structure uncut.

Is there a simple way to cut this in half ? Is there an addon/script that does this ?

I already lost too much time on this and I need to solve it.

thank you for your help !

Not too easy to imagine without a screenshot so I might be totally wrong. If the boolean modifier does the job as required and provided that it's possible to choose which half to get, I would:

  1. Duplicate the object in object mode (Shift-D)
  2. Apply the boolean modifier to each object so that you get the two halves spread over two objects
  3. Merge both objects

Maybe you can post a screenshot if I am totally wrong.
