For : Use a Sutherland-Hodgman clipping algorithm or a Mesh Boolean operation.
For : Use a library like Clipper2 to find the difference between the path and the bounding area.
: Use a tool like 7-Zip to extract the source files from TrimmingOverhung.7z . TrimmingOverhung.7z
If you are working in a CAD or graphics environment (like C++, Python/Blender, or C#), follow this workflow:
: Identify the intersection points where the geometry crosses the boundary. For : Use a Sutherland-Hodgman clipping algorithm or
: Ensure the operation is non-destructive until the user saves the final output.
: A target geometry (the "overhang") and a reference boundary (the "trimming plane" or "support edge"). TrimmingOverhung.7z
: Allow users to set a "buffer" so that trimming isn't too aggressive.
