Trim based on interactive U/V similar to Detach.

Trim based on interactive U/V similar to Detach.

IDEA:  Ability to quickly trim an overbuilt surface based on U/V similar to the detach tool. 

 

Essentially the same as detach tool but instead of creating multiple pieces, it allows you to keep, discard, or divide. 

Currently the workflow requires multiple tools and steps such as Duplicate curve(Interactive ON) to create a curve, then project normal and trim.   

 

This feature would improve the workflow for over built surfaces or situation that you want to be aligned to the primary surface parameterization but need the ability to retain the original surf and theoretical intersection.    keeping the overbuilt surface makes changes alot easier, sharing data across multiple users and gives engineering more flexibility for flange and b-side creation.

Hi I think Trimconvert is the tool you are looking for. Best Regards

Thanks for the reply. 

Trim convert creates a new surface with natural boundaries.  Not quite the same. 

This suggestion works is to reduce tools and button clicks and avoid the process of defining a COS by allowing you to trim with existing isoparms or U/V positions.  

 

It could just be an enhancement to 3D trim option. 

 

Keep surfin'
