Hi there!

I'm kinda new with the conceptual massing environment, and am kinda stuck at cutting a divided surface with a void mass. I was able to cut the mass with the void, but when I divided the surface it seems to ignore the voids. Please refer to the attached image & (Revit file = https://drive.google.com/file/d/1E-vTVR3F_UtNvx_lPeRl0jgfGzk_NoBa/view?usp=sharing).

How do I go around doing it? It's quite frustrating.

Please help. Thanks!!!

OK I think I've got it. 

You have to tab until you get to "Joined Solid Geometry: Face" <-- this is very important because as you cycle through the selections there will be another "Joined Solid Geometry" but that selection won't allow you to divide the surface (you'll notice the button won't be there).

Once "Joined Solid Geometry: Face" is selected, then you can divide it and it will divide only the geometries that are not cut by the void.

A bit tricky but worth the effort.

Hope this helps some people out there. Cheers!!
