vnnp_noiseplinejoin

KEYB_ICO Command prompt: vnnp_noiseplinejoin
Select objects: shows up

When the selection is done, all line type objects in the selection with coinciding start/end-points as any other line type object, will be joined together with this.

If e.g. a centerline is split into several parts, you can select all of these and get them joined together in one operation.

Or you could freeze all layers but the one with the wanted objects and run the function by selecting all. Then all lines consisting of several parts will be joined. You could also use Quick select to create a preselection before running the command.

There are similar functions within some AutoCAD versions as well.

There are no plans to further extend the functionality of this function, but it will soon be put into the noise menu.

Example of use with Quick select:

MOUS_ICO Menu: Tools > Quick Select…
Dialog box: Apply to: Entire Drawing (Default)
Dialog box: Object type: Multiple (Default)
Dialog box: Properties: Layer
Dialog box: Operator: = Equals (Default)
Dialog box: Value: K–DI–5001
Dialog box: How to apply: Include in new selection set (Default)
Dialog box: Append to current selection set: Off (Default)
Dialog box: Press <OK>
KEYB_ICO Command prompt: vnnp_noiseplinejoin

All lines on the layer K–DI–5001 (default layer for buildings with roof height) will now be joined together to closed building polygons if possible.

For Novapoint versions previous to 17.10a: The function does not work so well if non-line objects are included in the selection, as can be the case if you select with all or Quick Select with Object type Multiple. It would be better to use Quick Select in one or more rounds (with Append to selection after the first selection) to create a selection of line types only. See example below.

Example of use with Quick select, to avoid problems in Novapoint versions up to and including 17.10:

MOUS_ICO Menu: Tools > Quick Select…
Dialog box: Apply to: Entire Drawing (Default)
Dialog box: Object type: 2D Polyline
Dialog box: Properties: Layer
Dialog box: Operator: = Equals (Default)
Dialog box: Value: K–DI–5001
Dialog box: How to apply: Include in new selection set (Default)
Dialog box: Append to current selection set: Off (Default)
Dialog box: Press <OK>
MOUS_ICO Menu: Tools > Quick Select…
Dialog box: Apply to: Entire Drawing (Default)
Dialog box: Object type: 3D Polyline
Dialog box: Properties: Layer
Dialog box: Operator: = Equals (Default)
Dialog box: Value: K–DI–5001
Dialog box: How to apply: Include in new selection set (Default)
Dialog box: Append to current selection set: On (Default)
Dialog box: Press <OK>
KEYB_ICO Command prompt: vnnp_noiseplinejoin

All lines on the layer K–DI–5001 (default layer for buildings with roof height) will now be joined together to closed building polygons if possible, whether they are 2D or 3D polylines.
