    Important:
    • Connect and conic curves, output features, and construction elements are not impacted by the Boolean trim commands.
    • If the number of intersecting profiles is too high, the Boolean trim commands can be accessed only through the context menu.
    • In case of a multi-domain profiles, the Boolean trim operation is done only on the elements inside the multi-domain profiles. The elements which are two layers inside the multi-domain profile are considered to be outside of the multi-domain profile.
