When using the Trim command, where would you select to create the sharp corner and remove the overlapping elements?

The Trim command in Solid Edge is utilized to modify the geometry of lines and shapes by removing overlapping elements to create clean intersections. Selecting at overlapping sections allows the software to identify exactly where the geometry intersects and thus perform a trim at that point. This is particularly effective for ensuring that new sharp corners are created as desired, effectively removing the unnecessary overlapping parts of the lines.

While selecting at the intersection point or at the endpoints of the lines may seem relevant, these selections do not guarantee that the trim will occur accurately as they may not adequately define the overlapping geometry in every scenario. Selecting at overlapping sections specifically targets the parts that are extraneous, thus fulfilling the command’s purpose effectively. This targeted approach is key when working with complex geometry where precision is crucial for clean design outcomes.
