VIEW CULLING BREAKING TRIM

gcarvac — Wed, 02 Aug 2023 23:36:32 GMT

I am using the trim tool to remove a line. Because my item is quite large, I need to zoom in to select the correct line to trim. Unfortunately, this means the intersecting lines are outside my view. The trim tool then removes the entire line instead of up to the intersecting lines. Is there a way to improve this?After trimBefore trim

Your pictures don't adequately show what your doing or trying to do. My guess is that you are in Quick Mode for trim and it's causing a problem when intersections are off screen.

The line may not be on the same plane as mentioned on this link :

Trim cuts the entire line instead of the piece on the intersecting lines.

Consider using the FLATTEN command or adjusting the Z value in the Properties.

@gcarvac Any reason you don't want to just "hide" the objects you don't need on screen first? The option is right there in your right-click menu when you select them under "isolate", explore.
