Split mesh with projected curve, help!

I'm having issues using the "split mesh with projected curve" function.

 

There are times when I project a curve onto a mesh, where the resulting "polyProjectCurve" remains intact as 1 curve.  In these cases I can then select the mesh and the projected curve and the split with projected curve funtion works great.

 

But there are times when I project a single curve onto a mesh and the resulting curve is chopped into several segments.  When I then try to split the mesh with this projected set of curves, I get the following error.

 

// Warning: Can't perform polySplit1 on selection // 

 

I've tried selecting both the parent polyProjectCurve node and the child nodes individually.  I get the same error regarless.  Any ideas on how to get this to work properly?

I'm having the same problem. Did you ever figure it out?

Autodesk helped me trouble shoot.  The conclusion was that the scale of my mesh was too large.  We work at real world scale.  For example on a terrain mesh at 1000 meters by 1000 meters the split function would not work correctly.

 

If I scale this mesh down to 1000 x 1000 cm, the split works fine.
