unable to trim 1 beam, but another work

A_Pare

I trim beam 2 to plane2 and it works, but when I want to trim beam 3 to the same plane, it will not work. I tried many things, move the beam, move the line, make the line longer but still unable to trim.

Can you share the document in question as public? I'd be happy to take a look.

It is public now

Okay. I've discovered the cause of the bug, and we'll need to update the beams feature to fix it. In the meantime, you can work around this issue by creating another (seemingly identical!) plane with the "Plane point" method, using the same plane you used before and the endpoint of Beam 3's edge, then use that new plane to trim Beam 3.

Apologies for the inconvenience!

Thanks!

@kevin_o_toole_1
Is it due to the planes being represented internally at their original size?
I had this problem with the beams feature also, and I ended up using a circular pattern.

Yeah the issue is the FS relying on evCollision(), which treats infinite planes as finite (with somewhat unpredictable boundaries). It should instead check qIntersectsPlane(). We'll version the fix once it's fully tested, possibly grouping in another change.

Thanks for reporting!

@alex_pare - this should now work (look for the blue update icon next to your features and also next to the Beams icon on your toolbar - right-click and select update). Sorry for the inconvenience.
