Trim floors in GH

Evening grasshoppers! :]

I've been attempting to trim my floors since 8am this morning [its now 7pm!] and am having difficulties!..

I have tried using pretty much every boolean command [under the intersect tab] but cant get any results!

I think my main issues are:-

1] I'm not 100% sure which trim/boolean command i should use
2] I'm not 100% sure which stage of the operation i should insert a trim command i.e. do i trim the initial curves, the planar surfaces of the curves, or the extrusions of the planar surfaces?

Again, I've tried all options but no luck.

An image of the dilemma is below. Any help at all would greatly appreciated guys, I've ran out of options!

    i don't have a solution, but try to do the operation manually in rhino. if it doesn't work there either, some of the objects created through GH are causing problems. try to find out which, it might get you closer to a solution.
    i'm going through something similar now as well.

      Hi Jali,

      I've not had chance to look at your file yet, but Benjamin sounds like he's on the right track...

      Also bear in mind coincident edges, faces and polysurface seams. All of which can cause booleans to fail in rhino modelling. Do you definately have a clear intersection?
