Creating a Trust Boundary [message #1859396]

I am currently trying to create a Threat Modeling Diagram using Sirus.

For the Trust Boundary i need to be able to draw a line that is freely movable and not attached to any of the nodes.
However using a custom SVG for a node i cannot move and rotate the line as i wish and using an edge I have to connect it to a node.

Is there a way to get the desired behavior in sirius (either edge or node based)?

I think the closest you can get would be something like:

* Create two "Node Mappings" on your diagram with the same type and value as the target element of the diagram itself, but named something like "TrustBoundaryStart" and "TrustBoundaryFinish".
* Give both nodes a style with a very small size (e.g. a rectangle of 1×1 pixels).
* Create and "Edge Mapping" with "TrustBoundaryStart" and "TrustBoundaryFinish" as source an target.

It should create a single edge between two (almost) invisible nodes.

Thank you for your answer.

This sounds like a viable solution, so I will implement that and see if it satisfies my needs.
