Good morning.  
I have a problem… please I would like your help…  
I’m trying to get the intersection between the geometries… I just want to get the intersection as a result… but it doesn’t work for me… !  
What am I doing wrong… thank you very much for your help

Hello @AM3D.BIM.STUDIO probably something could work in that case…

Hi, I believe this is what you need 🙂 You only had to get rid of intersections, represented by an element, intersecting itself, which is the the element’s own geometry

Here’s your updated graph:

Hi @danail.momchilov nice one…but think you still will need a prune or something here,ps i only count the solids …

Hi, yes you are right, might be a good idea cleaning anything other than a solid in the end (or along the way) 🙂

Yeap! In the beginning might be actually even better, as you don’t get these warnings as in my graph 😉

PS: I adore new Dynamo’s interface… we are still behind on upgrading our models, so I am still stuck with 2.6 (2021) ☹ anyway, coming soon

I actually want to subtract the areas of these intersecting surfaces from their surfaces.  
Can you help with this? Thank you in advance. I am grateful.
