Split Polyline Wizard

Splits the features of a polyline layer.

Inputs:

• A polyline layer which features are to be split
• A method to be used for splitting
  • In all vertices
  • Equal segments
  • Segments length - two options available
    • Exact length + remainder - the polylines will be split using the exact length specified by the user. The last segment will have length equal to the remainder of the splitting. For example if a polyline with length = 60 meters is split using length of 25 meters, three segments with lengths 25, 25 and 10 will be created.
    • Equal Length - the user specified length is adjusted in order all resulting segments to have equal length. For example if a polyline with length = 60 meters is split using length of 25 meters, two segments with lengths of 30 meters will be created.
  • Number of vertices per feature
• Attribute update rules for each field

Outputs:

• A polyline feature class - new node created in each split point. The attributes will be distributed according the user specified attribute update rules.

Notes:

• Range attributes from string and numeric fields can be handled. The records that have range values containing non numeric characters will be copied to the resulting features.
• If the "Split selected features only" option is selected only the selected features from the input layer will be split.
• If the Segment length method is used
  • all the segments will have the user specified length except for the last one
  • if the assigned length is larger than the length of a specific polyline, the polyline will be copied to the output as is
  • the splitting starts always from the start points (From Node) of the polylines
