- Continuing on with our truss structure,
you can see we've got a few things
that are interfering here at the top.
We've got these pieces of channel which are interfering.
We've already been using the Trim/Extend tool
a little bit before, but let's go ahead
and continue on with that.
The bodies to be trimmed is going to be this one here.
I'm going to choose the bodies here,
and trim up to those bodies,
go ahead and click on okay.
That's going to cut this back here.
Alright, and then the same thing over here,
is I'm going to use Trim/Extend bodies,
and you can do multiples at the same time as well.
So the bodies to be trimmed are going to be
this guy here and that guy there.
And the trimming bodies are going to be
this guy here and that guy there.
Alright, click okay.
And again, that trims it back so it looks real clean.
So it really depends on how you define your structure.
Really think through how the pieces of material
are going to be coming together.
What type of material you're going to be using,
which orientation they're going to be laying in,
and how you're going to connect the pieces.
Are you going to be welding them,
are you going to be bolting them,
what is the method for connecting these pieces together?
Is really to define how you should lay out your sketch,
and how you should choose and layout your pieces here.
This one here is defined really well for welding,
but it wouldn't be so great for bolting.
But if you didn't want to bolt it,
or maybe we'd come up with some bolt plates,
at which then it'd attach to the backside over here.
So a couple different options there.
