Menu | Edit > Features > Intersect |
Cut selected areas and lines at intersections with other features.
This can used to ensure that the topology of the product conforms to VPF standards.
This command:
• Splits areas into new features with new feature object IDs.
• Splits lines into multiple edges that retain the original feature object IDs.
• Retains any existing relations, such as collections or VPF notes.
The following rules apply:
• More than one feature must be selected.
• Features must overlap or touch each other.
• Adjacent features that were not selected will also have edges changed if Shared Edit is active.
• This command cannot be applied to self-crossing lines.
