hello. i’ve run into a problem: in the new version my model is being cut along the model’s actual shape rather than being split into two equal parts along a straight line. how do i turn this off? ![IMG_9696](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/nomadsculpt/original/3X/f/d/fd051a823de189a7232bc09f31c76b1eb167f54f.jpeg) ![IMG_9698](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/nomadsculpt/original/3X/f/1/f1b5d3afec2f433b0eac3b4155227a103357be04.jpeg) ![IMG_9699](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/nomadsculpt/original/3X/c/4/c43486927dcc858541f73473246c015ca1512e80.jpeg) ---

Hard to know because you crop the screenshot so we miss information. Make sure to disable masking (shading → mask off) during the trim operation. ---
