Re: Problem with trim surface command
That was the shape i had before i inserted the half circle. I am essentially trying to keep the half circle extrude and remove everything below the half circle up to plane 1

Re: Problem with trim surface command
What is the purpose of all of those Workplanes?
Why are you using Surface modeling techniques for this geometry?
Do you have a reference that you are attempting to follow?

Re: Problem with trim surface command
I am working on a project where i am reverse engineering a pair of visegrip pliers. I placed the workplanes where they are because that is the location where the handle is going to change its shape and i am working from one end to the other. I am using the surface modeling commands because from my understanding that is the only way i will be able to use the surface trim command.

Re: Problem with trim surface command
Ah, I have my students model this design, and we do use surface modeling, but I am having trouble visualizing which part you are attempting to model.
Is this the part you are attempting to model?

Re: Problem with trim surface command
Hello Matthew,... as is, you can not trim the solid body with a surface extrude... although you can Cut using a Surface.... but, your surface extrude is open (yes, you checked the cap end)... but the other end is open.. so, you need to close/cap the open end, using a Planar Surface or a Fill Surface.. and can use your existing Sketch35... then, Knit..... so now you can do a Cut using a Surface.

Re: Problem with trim surface command
Hi Matt,
I'm working on similar but different issue. I think it's a good idea to use solids where you can, when making a complicate part. You can convert your solid to a surface body. By deleting one of the faces of the solid body. From there you can use your surfacing commands to manipulate the surface body.
