Join polyline

Use the Join polylines function to join selected polylines or lines in a single polyline.

  • Click Edit.

  • Click Join polylines.

    image-20241219-203444.png
  • Select the first polyline.

  • Select the lines or polylines to join.

  • Confirm the selection. If the elements are contiguous, the elements are joined.


Invert polyline

Use the Invert polylines function to invert the vertices order of selected polyline.

  • Click Edit.

  • Click Invert polylines.

    image-20241219-203729.png
  • Select the polyline to invert.

  • Confirm the selection to invert the order of the vertexes of the polyline.


Reduces vertices

Use the Reduces vertices function to simplify a polyline removing not significant vertexes, for example along an alignment.

  • Click Edit.

  • Click Reduce vertices.

    image-20241219-204405.png
  • Select the polyline.

    image-20241219-205055.png
  • Select the vertices reduction mode:

    • 2D distance: vertices are removed if the 2D distance from point to alignment is smaller than entered value.

    • 3D distance: vertices are removed if the 3D distance from point to alignment is smaller than entered value.

  • Confirm the selection.

Vertices grid

Use the Vertices grid function to open an editable table with the vertex coordinates of the selected polyline.

  • Click Edit.

  • Click Vertices grid.

    image-20241219-205327.png
  • The function opens a table on the right panel.

image-20241219-205520.png
  • The table can be edited to change the vertexes of the polyline.

    • Name: the name of the vertex point.

    • X, Y, Z: the coordinate of the vertex.

    • Type: the type of the segment starting from the vertex, for example line or arc.

    • Insert: to insert a new vertex in the table.

    • Remove: to remove the selected table line and corresponding vertex.

    • Add vertex before: to add a new vertex before the selected line. Click on the graphic view to create the new vertex.

    • Add vertex after: to add a new vertex after the selected line. Click on the graphic view to create the new vertex.

    • Edit vertex: to edit the selected vertex from the CAD.

    • Close: to close the polyline.

    • New polyline: to create a new polyline and a new vertex table.

    • Invert polyline: to invert the order of the polyline vertexes.

    • Table: to create a drawing table of the polyline. Click on the graphic area to insert the table.
