The Split tool lets you split an area or linear or polygon down into multiple smaller pieces.
Tutorial Video
The Split tool acts as a virtual pair of scissors, enabling you to divide a large line or polygon into individual segments.
To use the tool:
- First select the area/linear polygon you would like to divide.
- Click on the Split tool icon on the left hand control menu or hit the shortcut key "S" to activate the tool.
- Once the tool is activated, begin dividing the selected polygons. Start by placing your first point outside the polygon, then trace along the desired division line(s). You can make multiple splits of the same polygon or split multiple polygons at once.
- To finish, ensure your final point is outside the polygon and either double-left click or press enter to complete the process.
Tips
- You can activate the Split tool by hitting "S" on your keyboard.
- Personalize your split by adding points as needed to tailor the division according to the desired shape.
- Press "A" on your keyboard to activate the Split Arc feature, enabling you to split the selected polygon using an Arc line.
- You can also efficiently use the split tool on multiple polygons simultaneously. Simply select the polygons you want by holding down "Shift" + left clicking, activate the Split tool, and divide all the selected polygons at once.
