 Dim AutoExtrapolMode As boolean
 AutoExtrapolMode = Trim.AutomaticExtrapolationMode
 
o Property Connex() As
Gets or sets connected mode. Connex = TRUE : the check of connexity is enable. Connex = FALSE : the check of connexity is disable. This example retrieves in Connex the connected mode for the Trim hybrid shape feature.
 Dim Connex As boolean

o Property FirstElem() As
Deprecated:
V5R17 CATIAHybridShapeTrim#GetElem Returns or sets the first element to be trimmed.
Example:
This example retrieves in Surface1 the first element to be trimmed for the hybTrim hybrid shape feature.
 Dim Surface1 As Reference
 Set Surface1 = hybTrim.FirstElem
 
o Property FirstOrientation() As
Deprecated:
V5R17 CATIAHybridShapeTrim#GetPreviousOrientation Returns or sets the first orientation used to compute the trim.
Role: The orientation specifies the kept parts of the first element to be trimmed.
  • When trimming surfaces:
    • If orientation value is 1: kept parts are specified by the "natural" normal to the second object
    • If orientation value is -1: kept parts are specified by the inverse of the "natural" normal to the second object
  • When trimming curves:
    • If orientation value is 1: kept parts are from the beginning of the curve to the first intersection, and, if there is one, from the second to the third intersection and so on until the end of the curve
    • If orientation value is -1: kept parts are from the first intersection to the second (if there is one), and, if there is one, from the third to the fourth and so on until the end of the curve.
Example:
This example retrieves in firstOrient the orientation of the first element used by the hybTrim hybrid shape feature.
 Dim firstOrient As long
 Set firstOrient = hybTrim.FirstOrientation
o Property IntersectionComputation() As
Gets or sets Intersection computation mode. IntersectionComputation = TRUE : Intersection is computed. = FALSE : Intersection is not computed. This example retrieves in Intersection the Intersection computation mode for the Trim hybrid shape feature.
 Dim Intersection As boolean
 Intersection = Trim.IntersectionComputation
 
o Property Manifold() As
Gets or sets manifold mode. Manifold = TRUE : the check of manifold is enable. Manifold = FALSE : the check of manifold is disable. This example retrieves in Manifold the manifold mode for the Trim hybrid shape feature.
 Dim Manifold As boolean
 Connex = Trim.Manifold
 
o Property Mode() As
Gets or sets Trim mode. Mode = 1 : Standard. = 2 : Pieces. This example retrieves in Mode the mode for the Trim hybrid shape feature.
 Dim Mode As long
 Mode = Trim.Mode
 
o Property SecondElem() As
Deprecated:
V5R17 CATIAHybridShapeTrim#GetElem Returns or sets the second element to be trimmed.
Example:
This example retrieves in Surface2 the second element to be trimmed for the hybTrim hybrid shape trim object.
 Dim Surface2 As Reference
 Set Surface2 = hybTrim.SecondElem
 
o Property SecondOrientation() As
Deprecated:
V5R17 CATIAHybridShapeTrim#GetPreviousOrientation Returns or sets the second orientation used to compute the trim.
Role: The orientation specifies the kept parts of the second element to be trimmed.
  • When trimming surfaces:
    • If orientation value is 1: kept parts are specified by the "natural" normal to the first object
    • If orientation value is -1: kept parts are specified by the inverse of the "natural" normal to the first object
  • When trimming curves:
    • If orientation value is 1: kept parts are from the beginning of the curve to the first intersection, and, if there is one, from the second to the third intersection and so on until the end of the curve
    • If orientation value is -1: kept parts are from the first intersection to the second (if there is one), and, if there is one, from the third to the fourth and so on until the end of the curve.

This example retrieves in secondOrient the orientation of the second element used by the hybTrim hybrid shape trim object.
 Dim secondOrient As long
 Set secondOrient = hybTrim.SecondOrientation
o Property Simplify() As
Returns or sets whether the simplification of the resulting topology is or should be activated.
Legal values: True to activate the simplification, and False otherwise.
Example:
This example activates the simplification of the resulting topology of the hybTrim hybrid shape trim object.
  hybTrim.Simplify = True
