I’m trying to split my model into four parts from the center, but I’m unable to do so using MeshSplit (or mesh boolean operations). The mesh behaves inconsistently (faces get removed or exploded, but it never splits into separate parts). I’m attaching the Rhino file for reference. I need urgent help. Thank you.

file that generates the mesh for reference. Please i need urgent help. thank you
Dear @Çağdaş its not one mesh, it s 389 meshes.
Most modern Slicers for 3d Printing can handle overlapping volumes. For other usage a first step might be to get one single Mesh. Is this initial Grasshopper-Data ? did you have Nurbs/Brep output as well.
where exactly do you want to split - gives us more info so it s easier to help:
where does the geometry come from/ how was it modelled, where exactly do you want to split (show it inside the rhino file), what do you use the Data for in the next step.
kind regards -tom
Thank you for your reply.
Yes, this mesh was generated in Grasshopper, where the NURBS geometry was converted to a mesh using Mesh Brep and then baked into Rhino. The original geometry was not a single NURBS solid. I also tried joining 389 closed meshes into one, but I still couldn’t reliably split the model from the center. Since printing the full model takes a very long time, my goal is to divide it into four parts for 3D printing, but I haven’t been able to achieve this in Rhino so far.
The Split Mesh command works fine on my side. Regarding boolean operations and avoiding issues with boolean unions, you should keep the inner faces of the cubes from intersecting the outer mesh surface, so they properly create a cavity. The inconsistencies happen because the cube faces are overlapping with the main outer surface.
