That's already working, but quite counterintuitive.
There is a seperate command for splitting curtain walls ("facades").
However, you will need another (dummy) curtain wall.

So:
Draw the dummy CW.
Select the CW to split.
Use the dedicated CW-split command.
Now select the dummy CW. This will be the place where your main curtain wall is cut.
Works with closed CWs as well.

Thank you.

It is a little quirky that a CW only can be split by another (dummy) CW.

Also, the split does not happen only at the location, all CW-parts inline with the splitting CW will be cut.
See also the image attached.

So therefore it would be great to get this function improved.
