How to cut multiple solids with one solid

Grasshopper
1

Hello, super noob question. I have a list of 10 (small) Box geometries, which I want to cut with 1 big Box geometry. 4 of the small Boxes are completely within the big box. The output that Im looking for (expecting) is to remain only with the small boxes outside of the big box.

So Im using a solid difference. In input A I put the 10 small boxes, in B I put the big box. However my result is still 10 small boxes (now converted closed breps) . Nothing is cut.

I tried doing a SolidUnion on the small boxes, as well as Brep Join. Doesnt make a difference

What am i doing wrong?

Thanks both for your suggestions. What I was actiually looking for was the ShapeIn node. It returns if objects are fully inside, intersecting, or outside another shape.

I can then cut the intersecting shapes with SolidDifference, and combine the result with the shapes being outside the cutshape, to get the desired result. Thanks again
