Split Lines at Points


Description

The tool allows one to split lines at certain points. The points must be provided as point shapes. The order in which the input lines are stored is retained, i.e. split parts are inserted at their original location in the dataset. By using a minimum vertex distance, a splitting close to existing line vertex locations can be avoided.
