Hi,
A very new user coming from Freecad.
I've got a complex surface (a lens) which I'd like to "chomp" or trim both fore and aft. You can see that I've created a planar surface where I'd like this to occur. Using the trim tool I can successfully remove all the parts of the lens forward of the planar, plus the planar itself.
The problem is the planar has a curve in the top left corner and I'd like to remove that part of the lens from behind the planar. In Freecad I'd have extruded the planar into a solid, extruded the lens a little and then boolean op'd the solid's to get the difference. The second picture pretty much shows what I'd like to remove.
I've tried doing a similar action in Solidworks using Thicken but at that point trim doesn't work.
Many thanks
Managed to make it work by extruding the plane backwards which created the intersects needed to cut that bit out. Logical Spock!
