Region Multi-Slicer

The region multi slicer makes it easy to slice a region into many smaller ones. All cuts made with this tool will follow the same direction and will be parallel to each other.

To use this tool, make sure that you have a region layer selected.

When the tool is selected, it will automatically generate a set of lines. The yellow anchor points can be used to edit the size and positioning of the slices.

• ‘Strip width’. This value controls how far apart each line is. This option allows for precise control over the width.
• ‘Strip count’. This value controls the number of lines that will be used to cut the field.
• ‘Segment length’. This option controls the length of the lines used to cut the region. Adjusting the value here has the same effect as moving the yellow circle anchor.
• ‘Total width’ and ‘Total length’ are not adjustable options − they are for display only, and are calculated from ‘Strip width’ and ‘Segment length’.
• ‘Bearing’. This option is a more precise method of adjusting the heading of the lines. The ‘East/West’ and ‘North/South’ buttons set the heading to follow directly along those directions.

Once all changes have been made, press the ‘Apply’ button to make the cuts on the selected regions, or the ‘Cancel’ button to back out of this tool.
