How to split a component in InRoads?

InRoads SS2

I have a pavement section that I need to split into two separate components for left and right side shoulder reconstruction. The only way I know to accomplish this is to delete everything on one side, then completely reconstruct the now missing side. Is there another way?

  • You can trace a new component over the points on one side and then delete those points from the original component. This way, any point names and constraints are preserved and if there are child components, you can re-parent them to the new component since the original component is never deleted, just modified.
