Curve ToolsTrim Curves
In this mode, you may perform an operation on curve items that is similar
to a boolean operation on solids. The corresponding menu or toolbar items
will only be visible when a curve item has been previously selected.
When you enter the mode, you will be prompted to select a second curve
item to trim with the currently selected item by double-clicking on it.
Please note that the second item must belong to the same curve as the
first item.
After the second item has been selected, you may continue to the next
step by pressing the RETURN key.
Now both curve items will be split into segments such that all intersection
points between the two curve items are endpoints of a segment. The next
step is to select the curve segments to delete. When you move the mouse
across the screen, all pickable segments at the mouse’s position will
be highlighted. You may now delete the highlighted segment by double-clicking
on it. After selecting all desired segments to delete, you may press the
RETURN key to complete the operation.
You may terminate the mode at any time by pressing the ESC key without
performing any changes to the model.
