Part VII: Working with Specialized Functionality


Trim/Extend


In situations where you must create multiple Structural Member features, thus creating intersecting
bodies, the interferences must be dealt with using the Trim/Extend feature. An example of this is
shown in Figure 31.12. The legs and braces shown are all being trimmed by a single face on the
bottom side of the rectangular section of the frame, where the small arrow appears.
