NX7.5 - Untrim
NX7.5 - Untrim
(OP)
I can't get the meaning of Untrim in NX.......
Could somebody give me a practical example of the benefit of using it? Is there an equivalent NX function that does the same modification?
Thanks

RE: NX7.5 - Untrim
Untrim basically gives you the first and exact patch before any trimming option is done on it.
For example let us say you first created a surface using ruled surface or mesh surface or any other creation method ..now this being a primary surface will be subjected to trimming while creating secondary surfaces (transitions) and getting the complete model.So when you select the trimmed surface for UNTRIM it will yield you the parent(base surface)surface again.
You may say ENLARGE is somewhat like this but additionally you can enlarge it in U and V directions....and frankly speaking before the advent of UNTRIM i used ENLARGE to get back the parent surface (in case you get an unparametrized body and you wish to do some changes on top of it.).
So in total it is more of a reverse engineering tool which helps you regain the primary surfaces.

For example if you have a sheet in which the imprints of the holes (hole edges) are left then using "delete edge" you can get rid of that hole portion as if it was never there (just like the synchronous DELETE FACE helps you get rid of blends holes etc.).
I will send you something on this on Monday if you are interested.
