Trim
Cuts the excess off a surface along a neighbouring body. Click the part that stays, then the body you are cutting with — Enter.
Why
The other half of surface work. A skin is stretched deliberately LARGER than needed and then trimmed in place: easier than fitting the sections beforehand, which means guessing.
How
- Press Trim.
- Click the surface — exactly the part of it that should stay: the same click also picks the sheet.
- Click the tool body.
- Enter to apply, Esc to cancel.
Worth knowing
- The side is remembered by the point you clicked: after an edit of the base the trim keeps the same part.
- The tool is not consumed. Keep cutting with it — every sheet in turn, if you like.
- The tool must reach past the edge. Once it stops cutting all the way through, the piece beyond the end of the cut is connected to the rest and stays with it. That is not a bug, but it looks like "trim stopped working": check that the tool is still wider than the surface.
- Nothing cut off — the node turns red with the reason: the tool does not cross the surface.
