How can I prevent a chamfer to stop at an intersection and continue in the same shape?

Team, I wanted to extend my chamfers along with the same profile as in the first picture but I cannot go across the intersection without chamfering everything? How can I achieve this?
Many Thanks,
Rob

@robert_armin ribs are the only way to do it (and really from an engineering standpoint they are ribs not chamfers). Chamfer will apply to the whole face as there’s no way it can predict what you are expecting it to do. Glad you got your model done.

Can you use a rib rather than a chamfer?

Hey Owen, yes you are right. But therefore I would have to create 3 Planes, 3 Sketches and a rib, wouldn't I? I was hoping there would be an easier way. Thx, Rob

You can split the face and then use the Move face feature with the option to rotate

thanks for your hint, what I wanted to achieve is lthe above. Currently this is done with rips as suggested earlier. Butt involves a 3 planes, 3 sketches, 3 rips. The example you showed above works out of the box with Chamfer. I wanted to break through the face with chamfer. Hopfully this explains it a bit better. Thx.
