Hi Tom,

Thanks for the quick reply and help.

I am not familiar with C#. So I hope there is grasshopper function(s) to solve this issue.

I am missing the foreship. Any idea how to fix that?

Sorting the cutting planes on the X value is easy. But that does not solve the problem of the missing foreship.

Hi Tom,

Thank a lot for this working solution. I will use this.

I hope that someone else will help me with a pure and simple grasshopper solution.

I do not understand why Grasshopper functions like Split work different from the Rhino equivalent. I hope that (in the future) this will change to reduce the learning curve of grasshopper. 

Cheers,

Bas

Hi Tom,

In hope you can help me again. 

I now have a missing in between part.

The split function in rhino works fine when I bake the input in Rhino.

Cheers, 

Bas

Hi,

I now solved the problem with grasshopper like the example attached. 

I still wish that a Split function that works like the split in Rhino will be included in Grasshopper. 

Cheers

I don't get it why important rhino functions are not available for grasshopper, now grasshopper will be integrated in V6.

Dear Tom, (or others)

I used your C# version and it works. Thanks! But now..... I have a new issue and that has to do with the grasshopper tree. The C# module flattens the tree, while a normal split will provide a tree with branches with all items separated by the split. 

The example attached shows that a split at the aft most cutting plane results in to separate items (in this simple case). How can I have these in the same branch based on the split? See also the below picture.

Hi,

I found the following solution myself in the grasshopper style. I hope it works.
