Hi guys, i’ve been trimming the outer edge of my patched area with my curve for an hour to use the inside of the area as a road. when If try to trim it away, rhino deletes the whole area. Do you have any tips?
its probably going to be a few hours more till you post a file to look at.

Post a .3dm file with the surface and curve.
If the trimming curve is closed:
- make sure you’re trimming from the top view.
- you can also try projecting the curve to the surface and trimming with the result.
- if it still doesn’t work, post the file.
it rather looks like the close curve is flowing along the inner edge of the surface that is supposed to be trimmed which could be an issue. but really guessing all over the place is not the best help, best is always when the user coming for help brings all he can to the table himself.

Hey Encephalon, thanks for your response! I’ve attached the file—could you take a look at it? I’m still having trouble with it.

how did you create these curves? if you have some input geometry that that came from then you best repeat that step a bit cleaner if possible, your issue is that you have multiple curves that are overlapping and not clearly intersecting partially. also there are duplicate curves, use SelDup to select these first then clean up the rest.
also in this area the curves are interrupted, you get away with trimming the rest if you at least close this at least and follow the steps below.
now take the curves and project them to cplane then use Curveboolean and click outside you will receive one closed curve as a result. extrude this curve that it overlaps the patch and use the extrusion to trim of the surface.

I will give it a test and come back later with a report. Thank you so much!
