Trying to make a project which requires a series of concentric rectangles , the first one at the original board height, second at 1/4 deep third at original board height, fourth at 1/4 deep etc. Cant seem to get the software to show more than two cuts. The third and fourth cover the second. Any ideas on what Im missing? Ive attached an mpc.

Make the 3rd rectangle subtractive merge, & inverted.
Make the 4th (inner) rectangle a region at height 0, additive & inverted.

Thanks Metallus, I keep forgetting about the Invert on things like that.

PROBABLY WHAT I AM TELLING IS NOT TRU BUT I GOING TO CHECK. I NOW IF IS NOT CORRECT SOMEBODY WILL TELL.
