Split Dialog

Split a design at a given section, Pline or tangent, to create two new designs

1. Enter the required directories and file names for the aft and fore designs, in the Aft Name and Fore Name edit boxes.

2. Use the Split at dropdown list to select the required curve type (either SECTION, PLINE or TANGENT) and then choose the particular curve from the dropdown list.

3. To perform the operation click the Split button.

   If new names are not given by the user then, for example, a design "ship" will be split into "shipa" and "shipf".

   If a Pline or tangent is used as the split point, then the curve must be in an orthogonal x-plane.

When the ship is split, a new tangent, with an associated angle curve, is created and copied to the two new designs in order to maintain the correct tangency at the split. The Tangent will have the name "Txposition". For example, if the ship is split a x=21.0, then a Tangent with name T21000 will be created.

Any patches which cross the split will be lost.
