Conditioning a string involves specifying the number of string segment that comprise a selected string. The selected string will be formatted so that the specified number of segments (chords) are applied, and can be used to smooth a string, for example. See condition-string for more information.

Field Details:

The following fields are available:

Maximum Chord Length: specify the maximum length of string segment (in metric or imperial units, depending on your Project Options). This length will not be exceeded when conditioning a string, even for a straight line segment on the original data that exceeds this value.

Minimum Chord Length: specify the minimum permissible string chord length here. String segments will not be created below this value, regardless of the severity of curvature on the original data.

Minimum Angle: specify the minimum convergent angle between subsequent string chords here.
