BAD — break exactly at the distance you type

Pick a line, polyline, spline or arc and BAD shows you its total length, then breaks it at exactly the distance you type — measured along the curve from its start, no construction geometry, no guessing with BREAK.

Chainage work, cutting cable runs to length, splitting a road centreline at a station – anywhere ‘break it at 137.50’ is the actual requirement.

How to use it

1. Unzip, then load the .lsp with APPLOAD.
2. Type BAD.
3. Select the curve – its total length is shown.
4. Type the distance at which to break.

Good to know

Take it further — measure and split areas automatically

Divide Area Split any closed shape into pieces of equal area – by number, by distance, a set area or a free cut. See Divide Area — $21.90

Area Measure Measure closed shapes in any unit, number them, and get a totalled area table – annotative text supported. See Area Measure — $21.90

Voronoi Generator Fill any closed polyline with Voronoi cells – exact spacing, edge distance and rounding, live preview. See Voronoi Generator — $24.90
