I'm sorry Christopher, I did not understand what you were talking about 
at first glance, though Mike Williams answered my question in p.b.images 
and correct my mistake the exact way you were talking about, you were right.

I've succesfully intersected the hf with a box and everything is 
perfectly in order now, thanks!
