You can also specify scrap cutter locations. The length of an individual trim steel is determined by dividing the trim profile length between scrap cutters, or the ends of the trim profile, into equal segments, ensuring that the length doesn't exceed the maximum length specified.
      </p>
      <p class="para_topic">Planes are created at appropriate locations and are used as input to the trim steel and lower scrap cutter features created. You can then edit these planes and features to get the final set of trim steels.</p>
