Hi, I’ve had Rhino 7 for a while but only noticed this issue with the last update. In older versions of Rhino, when trimming, only the objects used to trim remained selected while the objects being trimmed remained unselected. I got in the habit of of drawing a cutplane to trim something and then simply hitting delete to get rid of the cutplane after I was done using it to trim. In Rhino 7, the objects being trimmed become selected, so that now when I hit delete after trimming, everything involved is deleted. I realize this is relatively trivial, but old habits die hard, and it keep having to back up when I realize this has happened too late. Is there a quick option in the settings where I can change it back?
Hello- it should work like this: If the cutter is preselected when Trim is started, it should stay selected when the command is done; if post selected, that is, the command starts with no selection, then selected cutters are deselected at the end of the command. Does that make sense with what you see?
What you’re describing is what I’m used to but not what I’m seeing. If I preselect a cutter, any object being cut becomes part of the selection in addition to the cutter and remains selected when the command is done.

Now that I’m playing with it, I think it might only happen when i’m trimming a polysurface. It seems to work normally when trimming single surfaces and curves.
Hello - I guess I’d try with Orca disabled and see if that makes any difference - in Options > Plug-ins page, disable Orca, then close Rhino and restart it… any different?
I uploaded a sample polysurface and a cutplane. If I preselect the cutplane, then trim the polysurface, the polysurface becomes selected when the trim command is over…it doesn’t show up as highlighted (no yellow border), but if I hit delete or use the move command or something like that, it gets deleted or moved with the highlighted cutplane.
Wow… how weird - that does not happen here… Thinking…
@drybovich - I just noticed a comment from a developer about fixing a highlighting problem in Trim - does the problem occur for you if there are two polysurfaces to trim?
