Question

Line on Area Overlay, but divide/chop polygons by these lines

I have some polygons as streets (streetname) and many pipes which lay mostly inside the street polygons. Using the line on area overlayer I can get pipe attributes on the street polygons. But I would like to cut the polygons where one pipe ends and the next one starts.

Another approach would be to cut polygons where pipe attributes change...

is it possible?

@reservoirdog​ Now that you have the street names on your pipes - Buffer your pipes (Bufferer) and then, using the Street name as the group by, clip the street polygons (Clipper). If this doesn't work, perhaps attached a small example of your data and someone will try and find a solution/

Hey Mark, thx for your suggestion.

Actually I did it the other way around:

Buffering the pipes and doing a line on area overlay with the street axes.

That way I can join pipe attributes one after another onto the street(axes).

In the end I will buffer my streets back to polygons.

thx anyway
