Template drop split

Hi Andrei,

Did you consider using a 2m (for example) template drop?

Yes, this was my initial idea, but doesn't  mean that I need to do a lot of template drops? For example for a 20m corridor I would have to do 10 template drops, manually.

If you give an interval of 2m for the template drop, it places them every 2m - you only have to give the start and end positions e.g. station 0 and station 20 in your example. 

but then is it possible to select components that are 2m in length? because now I did it like you suggested, but I still select the whole template drop. 

I believe that if you really want components that are only 2 m in length, then you will have to go through and actually make a drop point every 2 m.

Is there a reason that you want to do that?

We often set our template drops at far shorter intervals than we actually need because it makes the design more accurate, showing us what is going on between our actual section points. But we don't need to actually break the design into those tiny pieces.

If you really need the tiny pieces, you could try dropping the line strings to segments, but I'm pretty sure that would blow up your design into dumb elements.

Thank you for your reply. The only reason is that the client wants to use it for visualization purposes and use it to create a sequence.
