## Overview

Got a bunch of curves that's intersecting with your base mesh? The Curve Trim tool will cut any curves, so you will always get curves that have their root points on the base mesh!

## Pre-Trim CVs

#### Options:

* **Keep Tip**: Retains the tip of the curve.
* **Keep Root**: Retains the root of the curve.
* **Keep Both**: Retains both tip and root.

## Steps

1. Select the curve(s).
2. Shift-select the mesh to trim from.
3. Click on Trim Curves

***

Keep Tip:​ After cutting, the tip (Section that's close to last CV) of the curves will be kept.
