Trim Help Needed

[Toonz]

I've been looking for it, with no luck.

 

Is there a way to trim lines at the intersection of a surface?

 

I know the reverse exists.

Without seeing what you actually are working with...

 

Can you project a point onto the surface and then trim to a point?

[Toonz]

Sorry, can't project a point to the surface for trimming.

 

I was going to upload the file to the FTP but I can't get in at the moment as I don't remember the userID and pw for it.

Ok...after having a brain fart by trying to get to the FTP via IE...I woke up and got there thru explorer and uploaded a file called 500-tran-nb-port.mcx

 

The green lines that project thru the surface need to be trimmed at the surface intersection.....HELP!!

[Kannon]

what folder did you put it in?

[Toonz]

ooops....sorry....it's in X3 files

[Kannon]

think I got it for ya Toonz...

 

just cant upload files to the ftp..

 

drop me a email if you want it, or maybe I could fire it off to another forum member that has access..

Looks like the surface is flat so create a

c-plane normal the surface edge curve and

trim to that edge curve - if trim lines are not parallel and surface is not flat - create a c-plane normal to each line and project a point to the surface using view break the line at the projected point and delete the unwanted half

Kannon,

 

Thanks for the assist. Your solution worked great. Done with the first file now and starting on the second.
