A macro to split a cylindrical surface with two planar surfaces, the end result is a quater of a cylinder. The trimmed surface is then mirrored about the plane.

The result needed is not always be the same quater of the surface (see EndSurface.SLDPART)

How to obtain the trimmmed surface? Trim type - Mutual

How to choose in the program/code which quadtrant  to retain?

I have recorded the macro and run it but doest not give the result (see Recorded code below)

By adding the names to the sufaces, the code selects the surfaces (see Modified Code below) but with out end result (a quater of a surface).

See the attached files for intial model and the final result.  (startSurface.SLDPART and EndSurface.SLDPART).
