# Trim Surface
Use the Surface, Plane, or Sketch as a Crop tool to crop intersecting surfaces.
Instructions for use:
Click to enter the Trim surface command, and its interface is displayed as follows.
Surface/Plane:Select the face you want to crop, either a surface or a plane, or multiple.
Tool:A cutting tool that completely intersects the surface to be cut, which can be a sketch, curve, surface, or datum.
Note:
- The Crop tool must be larger than the face to be cropped and fully intersect.
- When the Crop tool is a closed sketch, the sketch projection must intersect the part of the face to be clipped.
Keep:When checked, select the polygons you want to keep.
Remove:When checked, select the face you want to remove.
Note:
Removal and retention cannot exist at the same time.
