While using the trim tool, I’m getting the trimmed mesh being projected outward instead of being cut away. [https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/nomadsculpt/original/2X/6/6b5a7bdefd77c28ccdb6ad2d4cbeb4814795a966.MOV](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/nomadsculpt/original/2X/6/6b5a7bdefd77c28ccdb6ad2d4cbeb4814795a966.MOV) The line tool seems to work but every other trim tool seems to project the mesh rather than trim it (see end of video). ---

Yes for Rect and Ellipse it’s broken, you should disable “Reproject holes” in the Trim settings. For lasso/polygon, this new option can give better result. ---

Thank you was trying to figure out why this was happening.
