MICROSTATION-TRIM MULTIPLE

Hello,

I am using Microstation V8i SS2.

I am trying to use the trim multiple button and when I am prompted to select cutting edges after selecting the button, I am not allowed to select more than one line as a cutting edge.  I looked at the trim multiple dialog but it does not have any options that would affect multiple cutting edges, only trim, extend or trim and extend options; mine is set to trim.  I have tried pressing the control key to select multiple cutting edges but does not work.  The best work around is to use the break element by point button which is a little inefficient.  How do I select multiple cutting edges to use the trim multiple command?

  • The trick to using control to add elements is that you can't pick a single element by picking on it, but you can by dragging over/around it, then hold control to drag over the next cutting element. the drag can also be used to select several elements at a time for use as cutting elements.

    one other option, select all the cutting elements first using element selection, then pick the Trim command... all the selected elements should be recognized as cutting elements.
