About a Surface Trim Created with the Extrude Tool
You can use the Extrude tool to trim a quilt by projecting a sketched section onto a quilt normal to the sketching plane.

|
 To create a surface trim, you must have a quilt in your model. |
A section outline defines the trim boundary in a quilt. A section can be open or closed. Consider the following rules about sections:
• A closed section can lie within or intersect the quilt boundaries.
• An open section must intersect the quilt boundaries.
Depth Options for Trim Surface
To define the depth of the extruded surface trim, use one of these depth options:
• 
Blind—Extrudes a section from the sketching plane by the specified depth value.
• 
Symmetric—Extrudes a section on each side of the sketching plane by half of the specified depth value.
• 
To Next—Extrudes a section to the next surface. Use this option to terminate a feature at the first surface that it reaches.
| You cannot use a datum plane as a terminating surface. |
• 
Through All—Extrudes a section to intersect with all surfaces. Use this option to terminate a feature at the last surface it reaches.
• 
To Selected—Extrudes a section to one of the following:
◦ 
—Extrudes to a selected point, curve, plane, or surface.
◦ 
—Extrudes to an offset of a selected point, curve, plane, or surface.
◦ 
—Extrudes to a translation of a selected point, curve, plane, or surface.
| The terminating plane must be parallel to the sketching plane. |
Selecting the Portion of the Quilt to Keep
When you trim a quilt with a projected section, you can choose which portion of the quilt to keep, or you can keep both portions of the quilt.
| If you keep both sides of the quilt, you must select which portion of the trimmed quilt inherits the quilt ID. |
