Brep/Plane help

Im trying to create a rib structure along this surface. My plan is to use Divide length to crontrol the distance between planes and then use a plane normal and Brep/Plane tool to generate the curves that happen along this surface. Having an issue though when I do the Brep/Plane tool I'm getting a couple of curves that dont make sense. Any thoughts on what Im doing wrong?

Well, actually the intersections are correct...the issue is that the cutting plane extends to infinity, and when your surface folds back on itself it creates multiple intersections. You'll have better luck creating planar surfaces for intersection...

Thanks Dave. Your advice led me to turn the planes into surfaces and just find the intersection between the two surfaces. Seems to be working quite nicely. Thanks again for the insight.
