Surface: Trim 2 Surfaces
Function
Trim 2 Surfaces removes desired parts of two intersecting surfaces (Shell, Face) relative to the line of intersection and combines the remaining surfaces into a shell. Parts are trimmed based on the normal directions of the surfaces. But the normal directions are not obvious to the user. A better approach is to select two surfaces and change the ranges of the trimming operation with the aid of Preview.
Call
Geometry > Surface > Trim 2 Surfaces
<Trim 2 Surfaces>
Select Object Shape 1
Select
one of two surfaces (Shell, Face) to which Trim 2 Surfaces will be applied.
Select Object Shape 2
Select
the second surface (Shell, Face) for a Trim 2 Surfaces operation.
Trim 1
Trim the first surface.
In
Trim
the part of the first surface, which exists in the inside range (opposite
to the normal direction) of the second surface.
Out
Trim
the part of the first surface, which exists in the outside range (in the
normal direction) of the second surface.
ALL
Trim
the first surface entirely.
Trim 2
Trim the second surface.
In
Trim
the part of the second surface, which exists in the inside range (opposite
to the normal direction) of the first surface.
Out
Trim
the part of the second surface, which exists in the outside range (in
the normal direction) of the first surface.
ALL
Trim
the second surface entirely.
Name
Enter the name of the shell to be created through the Trim operation.
Sew Result Shapes
If
unchecked, the operation will not saw (combine) the surfaces into a shell
from the result of the Trim 2 Surfaces operation.
Delete Original Shapes
Check on Delete Source Shape to remove the source shapes (two input surfaces) after trimming.
