Parameters

The Trim Tool does not use adjustable parameters in the toolbar, but it supports both automatic and manual trimming behaviors based on context and modifier keys.

Shortcuts

  • Hover + Left Click: Automatically trims the highlighted segment between contour intersections.
  • Shift + Hover + Left Click: Manually trims from the contour endpoint up to the cursor position.

How to Use the Trim Tool

  1. Activate the Tool
    Click the Trim icon from the ribbon to begin trimming operations.
  2. Automatic Trimming
    • Hover the cursor over a section of a contour.
    • When the segment is highlighted in orange, click to trim that segment at its intersection boundaries.
  3. Manual Trimming
    • Hold the Shift key and move your cursor to the end of a contour.
    • The section to be trimmed is determined by the cursor's position.
    • Click to remove that segment up to the cursor location.

The Trim Tool is a quick and intuitive way to clean up intersecting geometry in your design with either automated or precise control.
