I want to cut the wall with a bottom profile so that everything below it gets cut.

In my case, this is the wall in section:

And this is the part that should be cut with:

In theory, this part should be cut out, but it isn’t.

Why not? Or should I model this differently?

In 3D we see that things don´t cut properly and all looks a bit weird:

But if I move just one wall with its bottom profil out, it is cut properly:

Any advice here? 🙂

SEO will not cut to the side, just above, below or where they intersect.

Just create a complex profile wall with that bit at the bottom.

In theory it should cut all bellow

But I did as you proposed, a compley profille wall.

 

If that little extension is a weaker building material compared to the main wall, then maybe it is being cut away and will have no effect on the SEO.

 

I would just go with a complex profile wall, and if you want to you can add modifiers to stretch the heights and widths of all of the skins.
