Massing - Division by refference plane dissapears after a massing Cut

I have a few simple extrusions that represent the building facade and they are divided into modules by reference plans and grids.

 

I am using a list of these references for the division of the face.

 

When I cut the masses to create the proper shape, many of the lines disappear!

How can I do this basic massing operation successfully without deleting the reference lines from the reference places?

I've made an example file to test.

 

It seems like if a mass's face is cut or joined ob both side, it goes bonkers and is unable to understand reference cuts from lists.

The reason its failing is because you have a spacing rule in the divided surface that is conflicting with the intersects. These conflicting rules are trying to create a division in the same place on the surface. Click the divided surface and turn the U and V Grid layouts to "None." Then intersect it with the levels and grids and they should all work.

Oh my god I think that actually worked....

 

The Autodesk Support just told me it was a limitation of massing. Thank you so much!!!

 

Now, I'll see if it works in our giant building complexes.

Actually that did not work at all and just created a bunch of other problems and holes.

You can see both in the image below

Left has 1 for UV, Right side has none. Both are failures in their own different ways.

Can you explain what you are expecting as the result again? It is not clear from your images. Also, go ahead and post a sample file.

 

I agree with you that Conceptual Massing has problems. However for the geometry you are working with it should work fine because it is planar and not double curved.

There should be a division where I highlighted in orange, since the level is supposed to divide there.

 

The sample file is supplied in Post 2. Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Yes.

 

I've noticed that adding no UV division creates missing panels however. It`s like its failing in a different but similar way.

Ok, so your original question is solved, correct? This is now another issue. Please open another thread and post this file so someone can help you.

Yes.

 

So that people know, the solution was to remove the U and V division by setting the division to none.
