Tool description

The Trim Coverage tool is used to remove features in a coverage that are not desired based on their location. A specific applications of this tool would be to trim extracted features that are outside of the desired simulation domain. Another application would be to clear out feature arcs that are inside the extents of a predominant feature such as a main river channel.

The tool allows for trimming data to features that are either inside or outside of the desired polygons.

Input parameters

  • Choose coverage to trim Select... – This will bring up the Select Feature Coverage dialog, where a feature coverage to trim can be selected.
  • Trimming option – This is a drop-down that contains two options for trimming:
    • "Trim to inside" – Feature objects will be inside the polygon.
    • "Trim to outside" – Keep feature objects that are outside the polygon.
  • Trimming buffer distance – A value can be entered for the trimming buffer distance.

Output parameters

  • New coverage name – A name can be entered for the new trimmed coverage.
