Hi Andy, trimming is always a bit more tricky, if only because it's not clear which remaining parts you want to keep. If you're trimming a single surface with a closed loop, it's not ambiguous, but otherwise...
I'll look into adding a bunch of trimming components, for I doubt that one will do the trick. -- David Rutten Robert McNeel & Associates On Oct 24, 1:23 am, Rchitekt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > David, > I see that there is an "Untrim" surface component in the last install, > but is there a trim command that I could use in this case?
