Trim Function

This functionality is new in AVEVA Marine. Trim works on a single element as well as for multiple elements. For a single element you do not have to select it first, simply right click close to the contour you want to trim. This trim function will automatically search for trimming contours searching in both directions along the contour(s) to be trimmed. If two intersection points are found then a gap is created otherwise the contour(s) will be trimmed.

If multiple contours are selected you will be asked to cross over the contours you want to trim with a line or polyline. The polyline has two purposes:

• Only selected contours intersected by the cross-over polyline will be trimmed, the other ones are ignored.

• If the contours are trimmed, that means, only one intersecting contour is found, then it is the crossed-over end that will be removed.

If you right click on a single contour and if the system finds that it will be trimmed, that means, only one intersecting contour is found, then it is the position of your right click that will define the end to be removed.

Example

Three contours are selected, the vertical ones. Cross over the middle part, between the horizontal lines, and a gap will be created.
