Resizing Crop Regions Graphically

You can use drag controls and break line controls to resize a crop region. Break line controls remove portions of the view. If you need to show the crop region, see Showing or Hiding Crop Regions.

To resize a crop region using drag controls:

Select the crop region.
Drag the blue arrow controls to the desired size.

To resize a crop region using break line controls:

Select the crop region.
Selected elevation view crop region with break line controls
Move the cursor near a break line control ().
As you place the cursor near a break line control, the portion of the view that will be removed is indicated by the X.

Highlighted view portion to be removed
Click the control to break the view into separate regions.
Two new crop regions created

You can resize the split crop regions using the drag controls and the break line controls. You can consolidate the split crop regions by dragging the boundary of one crop region on top of the other. A message indicates that the regions will be consolidated.

Note: If you turn off the crop region in the view, all split crop region information is lost. If you later turn on the crop region, you need to recreate the split crop regions. Turning off the crop region is not the same as hiding the crop region. When you turn off the crop region, a message notifies you that split crop region information will be lost. If you can hide a crop region and then show it again, the split crop region information is retained.
