Problem
I cannot trim my accommodation surfaces with the deck. All intersecting cutting surfaces are turned on.
Solution
Before trimming any surfaces, it is useful to check that the surfaces intersect properly. Since, if this is not the case, it will not be possible to correctly trim the surfaces. To display the surface intersections, select Contours from the Display menu and place a tick next to the Intersections item. Surface intersections are normally displayed in yellow. Check that these are as required.
The most important thing to remember is that for a region to be used as a trimming region, it must be fully bounded. In other words, the perimeter of the region must be fully closed. If a perimeter is not closed, a region cannot be properly formed. The diagrams below explain the difference between closed and unclosed regions.
