Why can’t I trim in rhino?

The trim may fail if the solids aren’t actually watertight – I’d check for naked edges. Check for bad objects too, any bad geometry could cause issues. If you are using a line to trim, presumably from a orthogonal view, make sure Apparent Intersections is turned on. IIRC correctly it won’t work if that is off.

What does Planar do in Rhino?

The Planar command limits successive picked locations to the same construction plane elevation as the previous location. Planar mode aids in creating planar objects with commands that allow free picking. Successive points have the same construction plane elevation.

How do you change mesh to surface in Rhino?

Converting a Mesh to a Solid in Rhino

1. Apply Mesh > Mesh Repair > Fill Holes to all component meshes.
2. Apply Mesh > Mesh Repair > Unify Normals to all component meshes.
3. Join all component meshes with Mesh > Mesh Boolean > Union.
4. Enter “MeshtoNURB” at the command line to convert mesh to solid.

How do you flatten a mesh in Rhino?

In the file you posted there are only meshes so use Squish to flatten the mesh. If you have the surfaces you created originally then you can try Smash.
