Trim to Area Plane

You can trim a profile end to the plane of the desired area, for example the top or bottom surface of a floor or a roof. The profile end is fixed to the plane, and it will follow the changes of the area angle as long as the end remains within the area.

1. Select Beams, Columns > Connections > Trim Profile to Area Plane.
2. Select an area (A).
3. Select the surface to which to trim the profile. Select the Parameters function from the contextual toolbar, and select either of the following:
   • Top Plane
   • Bottom Plane
4. Select the profile ends (B). Click the profile ends one by one or use area selection.
5. Select Confirm.

Note

• Corner trims are automatically fixed to the bottom plane of a roof when you use the Stretch Top to Roof auxiliary function to add corner trims. If the height or angle of the roof changes, the corner trims will follow the change.
