Odd Notch Trim Artifact

[dromani00]

I've noticed some odd behavior in Inventor 2014 when using the Notch Trim function for frame generated parts. The frame member is first generated along the defined geometry. In this case a member perpendicular to another member of identical width: The item to be trimmed is a square section, the face to trim to is a narrow rectangular section.

As you can see from the resultant trim, there's a stub left on the top. I've tried using the Lengthen/Shorten Trim prior to the notch trim, but I always get an error, or the other end of the square section is length trimmed instead.

Is there a solution to this?

As an aside, one should be able to select which end is to be subjected to a Lengthen/Shorten Trim. Currently, this is not an option and Inventor can get quite confused.

Thank you.
