Unable to split surface

Can someone please tell me why I can’t split the red polysurface with the 2 planes in this file?

Thanks

Hi Dennis - the planes are .002 away from the nearby edges, but not right on them - is that what you want? (It should work, strictly speaking, but I suspect that is part of the problem).

Yeah, if you move the planes to be right on the edges of the detail at the bottom, split works.

Ah. Thanks. I’ll fix that.
