Split connected triangles into trisolations

You can use this function to correct a data problem in a trisolation. This function allows you to take a trisolation which consists of several distinct trisolations and split it up into its component trisolations. You must define a new object into which the split trisolations will be copied. The input trisolation must have its neighbours set and must be valid (if either of these conditions is not met the function will give an error message and exit).

To run this function: Choose Solids > Edit trisolation > Split connected triangles into trisolations, or...

• In the Function Chooser, type TRISOLATION SPLIT CONNECTED FILE, and press ENTER.

Fields on the Trisolation split connected results storage form

Fields	Description
Define DTM to split
Location	The name and folder location of the DTM that contains the trisolations being split.
Object ID	The number identifying the object that contains the trisolations being split.
Trisolation ID	The number of the trisolation that contains the trisolations being split.
Define the output file to be created
File name	The name for the new DTM file being created.
Object ID	The number of the object being created from the split trisolations.

Result

If the original object contains <N> distinct trisolations these are copied into trisolations 1 to<N>of the new object.

Note: The original trisolation is not deleted and remains unchanged.

The point selected is not in the working layer and cannot be edited	You can edit only the objects that are in the active layer. You have selected a trisolation that is not in the active layer.
You cannot overwrite an object which already exists in the working graphics layer	The object where you have chosen to store the result trisolations already exists in the working layer. You must choose another object number to continue.
