Polyline Error and Editing

  • 1.  Polyline Error and Editing

    Posted 09-01-2022 23:41
    I have created a poly line by joining a number of segments.

    When I try to offset this line, it creates a vague figure.

    It is obvious that there is some rogue segment somewhere in the polyline that needs editing.

    What is the way to zero-in on the rouge segment to edit the same.

    Attached PDF file gives the screen shots before and after offsetting the polyline.
     
    The zip file is the vce file. (vce file could not be uploaded !!!)

    Thanks for all help.

    Hi Saif Bin Darwish

    I checked you vce file and found quite a few areas where the offset has a problem, see the image attached. Will have a look to see if it will be possible to create an offset with this line.

    Hi Saif

    I tested the offset and found that you can create and offset of 1.5m to the right and 0.5m to left that will work. The segments of you line are very short in some parts so when you create an offset where the lines have to cross over each other or it has to double back on itself to keep the line string as a one continues segment the "rogue" elements show up.

    Thanks for the prompt response.

    I would like to know the easiest way to zero in on the rogue element / segment and edit the same.

    Thanks.

    Hi Saif

    You will have to check the whole line and where you see errors you can manually edit them. To do this select to offset line and right click, in the menu that pops up choose Edit. You will then be able to edit each segment of the line that you select, see my image below.
