Trim two objects

[sudhakarn]

Hi folks,
Just curious to know the trim option to trim the two parts mutually.I tried with trim sheet with the option "allow target edges as tool objects".

Hi, You need to clarify what it is in detail that you are attempting to do.

Hi Toost,
I want to trim two surfaces that intersect each other mutually so that I can retain either or surfaces out of the two.

Try using Trim Body.

Hi John,
Tried trim body.But got the same result.Any other ideas? Basically I want to trim both the surfaces mutually as in CATIA.I should be able to use both the surfaces as trimming tools mutually.

Perhaps it's time to take a class, or at least read the help files.

i Agree with John. Take a class. You will see that there are other things that are different too, and might need some attention.

anyhow, Trim body and Trim sheet will not trim 2 sheets to a common edge, They will trim one object at a time.
( Trim body can trim multiple objects to a common target in one feature.)
the "Trim and Extend" with the suboption "make corner" will trim 2 sheet to a common edge.
The "Combine" feature will trim multiple sheets into a single sheet body producing multiple new edges.

Hi folks,
This is the answer I expected that it is not possible to trim two surfaces simultaneously as in CATIA.
P. S: I don't need a class now.

Try reading my last post once more. Slowly.

Hi Folks,
Sorry for the misunderstanding. Trim and extend with corner did the trick.Thanks a ton for your clarification and patience.Hopefully I will improve my "attention to details ".

It would also help to include the version of NX you're using since some commands are new, renamed or unavailable in certain versions.
