It's seen impossible to trim the earth filling from the sloping side of the planter box.

Any idea to get this done.

A screenshot would be most helpful in illustrating your issue. I suspect the use of SEOs is the solution, although it's not clear what the problem is...

Here is the extracted photo. The exposed triangular blue area need to be trimmed.

Do you might brief a little about SEO?
Go to the Design menu > Solid Element Operations to open the SEO palette. Select the wall indicated on the attached graphic and hit the "Get Operator Elements" button on the palette. Select the planting material and hit the "Get Target Elements" button. Choose "Subtraction with upwards extrusion" and hit "Execute."

Although using this method, I still meet some difficulties. After a few hard try, the work is done.

It doesn't work if just protrude a little, I just move the node instead for bottom layer.

Thanks.
