I have been struggling quite a bit to work out how to control trim planes and how and when they will work and on what.
In this example, I've been trying to write a script for an Utzon courtyard house (see pic). Basically, it's an L-shaped building on two sides of a courtyard with a shed roof raising outward from the courtyard. Now, the way I constructed the roof (see script), it requires a split to miter the two roof parts in order to avoid overlapping geometry where they meet. But I can't make it work.
Could someone please give an overview of how to use trim? Because I obviously either don't know, or I try to make it do stuff which it can't do. In the latter case, is there an alternative way for me to reach my goal?
