You can copy trims fro another surface, either by remapping the curves onto the new UV domain or by projecting the curves, but I haven't added a component yet that will allow you to trim with custom curves.
Using the Solid components is the closest you can get at the moment. -- David Rutten [email protected] Robert McNeel & Associates On Mar 5, 10:55 pm, CMRHM <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, David: > > Is there a component in GH for trimming a surface?
