This option is used to define/modify the lap splices of wire fabrics defined in the cross section when the length of a wire fabric exceeds the wire fabric length defined in the database. After defining a wire fabric whose length exceeds the value of the maximum wire fabric length and accepting the information about division of the wire fabric, the following dialog displays:
The left part of the dialog contains the following icons used to define the lap splice of a wire fabric:
- Manual definition (a lap splice is defined in the table provided in the lower part of the dialog by specifying lengths of successive wire fabric segments L1, L2, ... and lengths of lap splices S1, S2, etc.) 
- A wire fabric is divided in the direction 'from outside' 
- A wire fabric is divided in the direction 'from inside' 
- Lengths of all wire fabrics are equal 
- Lengths of the first and last wire fabric are identical.
The upper part of the dialog displays information concerning the divided wire fabric:
- Number of wire fabric divisions (this value may be modified in the dialog - the value is available only if all segments are equal and if a wire fabric is divided into segments manually)
- Wire fabric type - cannot be modified in this dialog.
Below the following information displays:
- Total length of a wire fabric (including lap splices of the wire fabric - this is the total of all wire fabric segments with lap splices)
- If the Identical lengths of a lap splice option is selected, then all lap splices in a wire fabric will be of identical length; a lap splice length can be determined by giving a value of the lap splice length or as a multiplier of the wire fabric diameter.
In the lower part of the dialog is a table presenting the defined division of a wire fabric into successive segments:
- L1, L2, L3, etc. denote lengths of successive segments of a wire fabric
- S1, S2, S3, etc. denote lengths of successive lap splices of a wire fabric.
