## About this Block

**What it does:** Trims lattice beams using a Volume, creating your desired lattice shape. You have the option to keep the beams inside of the Volume or outside, based on a Feature tolerance. A toggle switch allows you to round the edges of the remaining trimmed lattice.

**Common uses:**

* Creating custom lattice shapes.

**Tips:**

* The block keeps the lattice beams based on the Lattice to remain input. There are two options:
  * Inside: Keeps all the lattice beams within the Volume input.
  * Outside: Keeps all the lattice beams outside of the Volume input.
* If you toggle on the Rounded edges input, the edges may protrude past your trimming volume.
* You can use a Plane in the Volume input.
* Open up the block's Properties Panel to view the beam, implicit, and thick graph properties.
  * These properties are populated based on the type of Unit Cell you use. An error sign with a tooltip appears next to the property if it is empty.
