Trim line that pokes through surface trims with view instead

Rhino Rhino for Windows
#1
  1. I have a surface and a line. The lines goes through the surface.
  2. I now want to trim this line to where it intersects with the surface.

However, when I use the trim command, it trims with a view projection instead.

Anyone know how to get a proper intersection trim from this?

#2

While in the _Trim command, you will notice some command line options. Set _ApparentIntersections to “No”.

Thank you!

That was rather unintuitive, since I thought that intersections meant just that. :stuck_out_tongue:

#4

untick “apparent intersection”

#5

“Apparent” means “view-based” - which is not all that useful in a perspective viewport (and can be downright dangerous), but it can be quite handy in ortho viewports where the trim objects do not physically intersect.

#6

Jesus christ, so why isn’t it named ViewProjectedIntersections, because that’s not apparent at all!? :stuck_out_tongue:

(I know, I know, McNeel doesn’t have a dedicated UI/Ux person.)
