Making a few tweeks with the sliders and then baking each, the variations from a screen shot below. Unfortunately I could not find a way to trim in grasshopper so this task is completed once the geometry is baked.
Revised file based on some feedback from Gabe. My trim is a bit messy because I could not get it to subtract the correct side. I exploded the surfaces to get the final trim. Here is a link to the grasshopper file.

is there sound in your video?
how do you get the endpoints of the lines?
sorry no sound on this one. still did not have a microphone when I made the video. As for the end points... The command is under curve, top row, third from the left. It allows you to extract start and end points from a curve (or line). I chose only the end points, these are then used to define the surface. Hope this helps.
ok...i figured it all out and I can even show you how to make the "cut" parametrically in grasshopper. The problem I am having now is figuring out how to get a point which is attached to a real rhino point. seems simple but can't figure it out...trade?
Here is a screen shot of my grasshopper setup. The way I set the point, was to use the second input (B) from the Vector - Distance command. Let me know how you did the parametric trim.
Here is a link to the screen shot.
that's what i did...but i didn't get what you were doing in your video. I'm not sure how you are moving the point? If I want to move it I have to use "set point" again...i must be missing something.
I got my trim by using a boolean difference between the surface created by the end points and a new one being used to trim...it worked for me - i hope it does for you to. One thing though, is that the surface gets capped...I can send you a WRM file if you want...
I went back to check out the problem with the point and realized that when you go to select a point, make sure "point" is selected with the Rhino prompt. Once it was defaulted to coordinate and it would make a point but I couldn't move it around. Screen shot of the prompt has been added.
hi paramod:
i've been playing around with your gh's definition. i've been trying to populate a surface with it....still not working.
is thera a way to send you your modified definition so you can take a look at it???
best

hi,
my version does not have "Sec", do you have any recommendation,
Our goal is to move the surface in not such a pointy way
Do you recommend more tutorials
Thank you
