Using Trim Tool in Maya

This tutorial will explain the trim tool of maya.

Trim Tool was initially introduced in Corel Draw type 2D graphics software, and then AutoCAD’s trim tool ruled over the world of trimming objects for years. In Maya we use trim tool with NURBS Surfaces. Nurbs surfaces are called now Surfaces in latest versions of Maya. And Menu Set of NURBS has been changed into Surfaces. So when we select the Surfaces Menu Set we can find the trim tool in Edit NURBS menu. Trim Tool performs trimming action. Trimming means cutting some part or portion of the surfaces with some other objects.

Usually we use trim tool for cutting the doors, windows, panes, sockets, exhaust holes, and much more. But it is just an idea. Trim tool gives you a very broad exposure to do something different. You can model a multi story building with trim tool by using it again and again on specific area and in this way you may get a very précised shape for your multi story tower or building.
