Description

The Mesh PolyTrim command trims (parts of) faces from mesh objects.

Usage

  1. During the command the 3D view cannot be changed. It is advisable to properly line up the 3d view first.
  2. Select one or more mesh objects.
  3. Select the Meshes → Cutting → Trim mesh option from the menu.
  4. Define a polygon by picking points in the 3D view.
  5. Select an option from the 3D view context menu:
    • Inner: removes the (parts of) faces that are inside the polygon.
    • Outer: removes the (parts of) faces that are outside the polygon.
    • Split: removes the (parts of) faces that are inside the polygon, and creates a new mesh object containing them.
    • Cancel: cancels the command.
