[CONNECT EDITION] How Split a Shape Element

Hi Salvio,

there are several problems in your question:

• What version do you use? To say [CONNECT Edition] is simply not enough, there have been 15 versions of MicroStation CE release so far. And please, do not waste the space, to use e.g. [MStn CE U13 C#] as discussed in this forum best practices provides more information using less space.
• What API do you use? COM/Interop or "new NET"?
• What "split" means to you? Without further details (requirements or limitations) defined by you the issue cannot be discussed, because on this general level, there is infinite ways how a shape can be split. Should the shape by split to triangles, to defined number of smaller pieces...?
  At a code level, it's about to create new shapes, following defined algorithm, in memory, and in one transaction to delete old one and to add the new ones to a model.

With regards,

  Jan

Hi Jan,

• The versions they use are as follows
  Microstation : ms10120040en_updt12
  SDK : mssdk10130048en

• 
  In the project I use both COM / Interop and "new NET" so any solution would be fine.

• 
  The Split operation (required) should consist of selecting a shape, applying a sort of matrix,
  and replicate the selected object for how many elements are in the array.

Thanks for your help,
regards

Well, that's one of the more imaginative specifications I have seen!

1. What is 'a sort of matrix'?
2. How does a matrix help to split a shape?

3. What is the 'selected object'?
4. Where did 'array' come from?
