Line Trim Mode

The Line Trim mode splits 2D objects, NURBS curves/surfaces, solids, and viewports along a cutting line; it keeps a specified side, and trims away the other side.

To trim only the selected object, press the Alt (Windows) or Option (Macintosh) key while drawing the trim line.

 

To split and trim an object along a cutting line:

1.	Click the Split tool from the Basic palette.

2.	Click the Line Trim mode from the Tool bar.

3.	Draw a line through the object to split.

4.	An arrow points to the side to be kept. Click to indicate which side of the split line should be kept; the other side is trimmed away.

The object is split by the line, and the indicated side remains.
