Why is trim not working 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 is loft in rhino?

The Loft command fits a surface through selected profile curves that define the surface shape. Select the curves in the order in which the surface should pass through them. Select open curves near the same ends. For closed curves, adjust the curve seams.

What does Boolean do in Rhino?

When Rhino is instructed to perform a Boolean operation, it looks at the surface normals to determine which parts to keep and which parts to throw away. Essentially, Boolean Union, Difference, and Intersection are all the same operation. Just different parts of the objects are kept at the end.
