trim operation

Syntax

trim()

Description

This operation applies the current shape's trim planes to the geometry of the current shape.

Trim planes are generated by a component split and can be enabled and disabled by the trim attribute.

Trimming is automatically performed when a primitive or an asset is inserted in the scope.

Use the geometry.isInstanced function to check if an inserted asset was trimmed.

Examples

Manual Trimming

Roof--> 
    roofHip(45)
    comp(f) { 1 : Face } 
	
Face-->
    s('2,'2,0.5)
    center(x)
    extrude(0.5)
    set(trim.horizontal, true)
    trim()

A roof face is extruded and trimmed by both vertical and horizontal trim planes. The trim planes are generated by the component split. Setting trim.horizontal to true activates horizontal trimming.
