Cutting an object with multiple objects - rhinoscriptsyntax

Hi all,

I am trying to do what would seem a very simple operation with python but it appears to be more difficult than expected. I have a surface (or multiple surfaces) I have to split with a list of cubes, then I have to assign each of these surfaces to a layer and split them in turn with a list of lines. (see attached image)

However the rhinoscriptsyntax doesn’t allow for this as it requires to use just to object at the time. I thought I could then use the rs.command but however I can’t manage to select the objects I want to cut my surface with. Below the code I am using

import rhinoscriptsyntax as rs

srf = rs.GetObject("surface to cut",8)
cuttingObjects = rs.GetObjects("cutting elements",16)

rs.SelectObject(srf)
rs.Command("split ")
rs.SelectObjects(cuttingObjects)
rs.Command(" ")
rs.UnselectAllObjects()

I tried for example to move the objects I want to cut my surface with and then write “sellast” in the command string, however this doesn’t appear to work.

Any way this could be solved?

Thanks in advance
