Trim Face: Trim Face > By Multi

Two sets of faces can be trimmed with different trimming results. In this case, both the faces to be trimmed and also the trimming faces are trimmed.

In the example below the yellow faces are the faces to be trimmed and are all picked using single pick or pick by box. The blue faces are the trimming entities and are picked near the outside boundary as shown below.

Note: When picking a face (or plane) as the trimming tool along faces, the side of the face picked is the side that remains. The picking side on the face (also using Pick By Box) determines the remaining side of the face after the trim.

Required Step 1

Pick the face(s) or object to be trimmed.

The Faces / Object toggle option is displayed, enabling you to pick either face(s) or an object to be trimmed. For this example the Faces toggle option is selected (see the trim methods for additional information). Pick the faces to be trimmed (in the example below, the yellow faces).

Note: In Trim operations when using the Faces option and picking the entity to be trimmed, the position of the cursor is important; by default the picked side remains. For example, if you pick the top half of a face that is to be trimmed, the top half is the side that remains after the trim operation. You can use the Flip Trimming Side button in step 2 to change the side that is trimmed.

Pick the faces (in this case "by box" as shown below:	The multiple faces are selected:

<exit><exit>(middle mouse button) when the faces are selected.

Examples:Examples: In this case both the faces and the trimming entities are trimmed, and depending on the combinations of the Flip Trimming Side buttons, multiple results could occur, of which the following are examples: The upper side of the trimmed faces and the outer side of the trimming faces remain. The upper side of the trimmed faces and the inner side of the trimming faces remain.     The lower side of the trimmed faces and the outer side of the trimming faces remain.
