I want to split a line at regular interval distance
Q1. Assuming the above is a 50m distance line and I want to split at 20m distance, If I split the above , I would get two segments of 20m distance and one 10m distance segment.
Q2. I want to do the splits starting from both (A) and (B)
Can anyone advise on how this is done?
+59For A there is a custom transformer available on the hub, the DistanceChopper, which does the trick.
B is a bit trickier, you could use a Snipper to cut off segments one by one but since it works relative to the start point of the line you'll need to flip the line after every segment using the Orienter. That means looping in a custom transformer.
That should do the trick.
+1Hi @josephjose Try the 'lineSnipper' custom transformer. I used this within the custom transformer 'ContourLabeller' I created to add contour labels at different intervals on the contour lines. Works perfectly.
redgeographics it's really a good idea to add Orientor. But you added this inside custom transformer, I guess this operation can be done without loop. Input can be passed to two different transformer, one would be Snipper and another will be Orientor followed by another Snipper.
+2Densify the line to generate choppable vertices, chop by X units for line 1, change line direction for line 2, and chop again.
When you are done, you can simplify the line line to remove the extra vertices.

Both lines
Line 1
Line 2

Thanks. Can you please share me a link to this transformer?
