Summary

The GT_INTEX command in GeoTools processes intersecting polylines, allowing users to either break (split) polylines at intersections or add vertices at intersection points in BricsCAD, AutoCAD, ZWCAD and ARES Commander.

Key Features Include:

• Intersection Processing for Polylines:
  • Works with both 2D and 3D polylines containing linear segments only (no splines, fits, or arcs).
• Object Break Options:
  • Source Objects Only – Breaks only the selected source polylines at intersections.
  • Target (Crossing) Objects Only – Breaks only the target polylines where they intersect with the source objects.
  • Both Source and Target Objects – Breaks both source and target objects at intersections.
  • None – No objects are broken, but vertices can still be added at intersections.
• Vertex Addition Options:
  • Source Objects Only – Adds a vertex at intersections on source polylines only.
  • Target (Crossing) Objects Only – Adds a vertex at intersections on target polylines only.
  • Both Source and Target Objects – Adds vertices to both source and target polylines at intersections.
  • None – No vertices are added.
• Selection Control:
  • Define Source Objects for processing.
  • Define Target Objects for intersections (optional).
  • Choose whether target objects are the same as source objects or selected manually.

Important Considerations:

• Works only on polylines (2D and 3D) with linear segments (not splined, fitted, or arc-based).
• If 3D polylines are used, ensure both source and target objects are in 3D to maintain correct interpolation.

Benefits:

This tool is essential for network mapping, road design, parcel subdivision, and utility planning, ensuring precise handling of linework intersections.
