I saw these posts pertaining to your question:

With the first one you just need to derive plane parameters from your surfaces/geometry where you want it to split.  I also got it to work with a series of SplitBrep components, but that is messy.  I need this type of operation for the project I am working on so other methods without a plane are of interest to me as well.

If anyone has discovered a solution could you share it?  I'll keep browsing the discussions.

Take care,

Tim

Rhino's BooleanSplit command does great job when it comes to splitting solids with surfaces and/or other solids. Sadly, this functionality has still not been implemented to RhinoCommon. But one can always call the command directly, then send the results to grasshopper:

Check the attached component.
