Multipart to Singlepart

The operation takes a layer that contains multiple geometries and splits those geometries into single geometries. The entire layer can be processed or only the selected geometries.

As output, the operation creates a dataset with the result and provides the option to create a layer in the tree.

  1. Input Layer: Select the Input layer to apply the operation.
  2. Only Selected: Click to apply the operation only to selected geometries in the map display (default is all).
  3. Inform the Output Repository by clicking on:
    1. (...) to select the output directory/type-supported and enter the name of the new layer to be created, or
    2. database icon to select the Data Source and enter the name of the new layer to be created.
  4. Click OK to perform the operation or Cancel to close the interface.
Usage Tips:

The output layer can be stored in different TerraLib data sources. Check data source selector for more details on how to select a data source.

The resulting geometries keep the same attributes as the original geometry.
