graft one level deeper?

Your example file doesn't contain anything in the initial Brep components. I'm guessing that they were referencing some geometry in Rhino? This would be easier to puzzle out if you either internalize the geometry to the Brep components and share that here, or else share the associated Rhino file with geometry in it (and indicate which geometry goes where).

Sorry, forgot to internalize. Here it is:

I don't know if this is the most elegant solution, but it seems to work.

Basically: If I'm trying to use six specific planes per srf for [Brep/Plane Intersection], I like to set up the branches so that each srf is on its own branch with the six specific planes I want it to intersect with. Using groups and duplication is a pretty simple way to achieve this. I also had to fiddle with the Pathmapper to get everything to agree.

Sidenote: In the third group of srf inputs, there's a tiny little srf that doesn't seem to intersect with anything? I don't think it's causing problems, but I'm not sure what purpose it's serving either.

Hope this helps.
