Hi There!
I’m having trouble trimming this solid… and I can’t figure out why.
I created the heart shape with “sweep 2 rails,” then joined it together.
Rhino is telling me it’s a closed, solid polysurface. I’ve checked for naked edges
and bad objects. I have none.
I’m trying to trim either the top or bottom off the heart so that it is flat-backed.
Please let me know what else to try.
Thank you!
Hi Jennifer - the problem is here, right at this seam:
if you ExtractSrf here, you’ll see not two but four surface can be extracted, including two ‘dimensionless’ ones that appear to just be curves.
I’d Explode the object, locate and delete those two surfaces and then Join it all back.
Can you post the input curves to this object? I’d like to sort ouit why you have these extras.

Thanks for the input! I got the trim to work.
The extra surfaces were right at the seam where the construction circle is.
I made the construction geometry that I used and uploaded the file.
Thanks again for the help.

Hi Jennifer - tnis curve has three point ganged up very tightly at the end
It looks like maybe this curve was a complete loop and was split not quite on the tip at some point:

Okay. Thank you so much for the input! Very appreciated.
