[solved] How to delete a polyline segment between two nodes?

Post by yetanotheruser » Mon Jan 01, 2018 6:53 pm

I need to delete a polyline segment between two polyline nodes. I tried with the Delete Segments between Two Nodes tool, but this actually deletes the line and then immediately creates a new one. Quote from the documentation:
After the segments are deleted, the two limiting nodes are connected by a straight line segment so the polyline is still one continuous sequence of line segments.
In my case the two limiting nodes are actually directly the nodes between which I want to remove a segment. So, how can I remove a polyline segment between two polyline nodes?

Here's a screenshot for better illustration, I also attached the drawing.

Thanks for any hint on this :)

This tool isn't suitable for that task. It will remove a segment but keeps the polyline intact.

You are looking to delete the segment. Just explode the polyline and then select and delete the particular segment.

I was used to another meaning of "Delete Segments between two nodes" from another software.
