Cut a Polygon into Two using a Slicing Line: GT_PolygonCutter – GeoTools Command

Summary

The GT_PolygonCutter command allows users to divide a closed polygon into two separate sections using a slicing line. This is particularly useful for land parcel division, zoning, or GIS-based spatial planning where polygons need to be systematically split.

Cut a Polygon into Two using a Slicing Line: GT_PolygonCutter – GeoTools Command

Key Features Include:

Define Cutting Parameters:
  • Gap Distance Between Polygon Cuts:
    • Specify the gap width between the two newly created polygons after cutting.
    • Ensures a visible separation for better distinction.
Automatic Naming of New Polygons:
  • First Part Name & Second Part Name:
    • Assign unique names to the newly created polygons for easy identification.
  • Label Layer Selection:
    • Choose a specific layer to store the polygon labels.
Text Settings for Annotation:
  • Define text height for the assigned polygon names.
  • Labels are placed at the center of each split polygon.
Advanced Splitting Options:
  • Delete the Original Polygon:
    • Option to automatically remove the original polygon after splitting.
  • Specify Exact Cutting Distance:
    • Allows users to define an exact split distance from the starting point along the slicing segment.
  • Search & Assign Polygon Names Automatically:
    • Detects and assigns appropriate names based on predefined attributes or GIS data.

Benefits:

  • Ideal for land surveyors, urban planners, and GIS professionals handling property subdivision and spatial adjustments.
  • Automates complex polygon splitting tasks, reducing manual workload.
  • Ensures precise cuts with minimal effort.
  • Fully compatible with BricsCAD, AutoCAD, ZWCAD and ARES Commander, allowing flexible implementation across multiple CAD platforms.

This tool provides a fast and efficient way to divide polygonal regions while maintaining accurate spatial relationships and naming conventions
