 Use it! |  |
(3D only) Used to do the following:
Trim two elements to their common intersection.
Trim one element to its intersection with a second.
Impose boundaries onto the first selected element, or both elements, at their common intersection.
Construct a curve along the common intersection of the two elements.
When using this tool, before accepting the trim, you can adjust the various tool settings to suit.
When selecting elements for trimming, the identified portion of the element is retained. Before accepting the trim, you can turn on Flip 1st, or Flip 2nd, for the first or second selected element respectively. These toggles reverse the portion that is retained and are useful if you inadvertently identify the wrong portion.

| Tool Setting | Effect |
|---|---|
| Intersection Curve | If on, a curve is constructed along the common intersection of the surfaces. |
| Trim 1st Surface | If on, the first surface identified is trimmed to its intersection with the second element. |
| Trim 2nd Surface | If on, the second surface identified is trimmed to its intersection with the first element. |
| Flip 1st | Sets which portion of the 1st selected element is retained after trimming. If on, the selected portion is deleted; if off, the selected portion is retained. |
| Flip 2nd | Sets which portion of the 2nd selected element is retained after trimming. If on, the selected portion is deleted; if off, the selected portion is retained. |
| Copy 1st | If on, a copy is made of the first selected element, and the original element is retained in the design. |
| Copy 2nd | If on, a copy is made of the first selected element, and the original element is retained in the design. |
| Remain As Solid | If on, a trimmed solid remains as a solid after trimming, and a surface remains untrimmed. If off, a trimmed solid is converted to a surface and trimmed. |
