There is no way for the split tool to match the selection tools abilities to select / refine the selection and otherwise stage features for the split operation.
This is especially true in environments with a wider range of selection tools (select by highlighter, select by point, etc...).
With that in mind this task is to change the selection tool over to the "Selection Split workflow".
This approach has clear responsibilities:
- User establishes the selected features using a combination of selection tools and the table view
- Split tool focused on just establishing the user input needed in order to kick off the split operation.
For polygons and multi-polygons:
- Draw line used to carve features into two, or cut donuts
- this would turn the polygon into two parts
- And mark the two parts with different colours
- Click on a polygon part to change marking colour.
- Clicking will cycle through the options
- In addition to the parts created using the "draw line" multi polygons are considered as individual parts and may be cycled independently
- The cycle always has one more available colour then is currently in use to allow users to split a feature into 3 or 4 parts as required
