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). Only one face can be trimmed using a point.
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.
