Introduction

Does your farm contain areas from which you need to cut out some fragments? We have a tool for you that will allow you to do it.

Drawing and holes menu

In the upper left corner, there is a button "Start drawing hole(s)". Tap it and you will see the holes menu with two buttons "Save hole(s)" and "Cancel changes" Figure 1. In the middle, at the top of the map, you will also see the drawing menu and in it two buttons to draw "Draw a shape" and "Draw a rectangle". It is not possible to cut circular shaped holes.

To start cutting holes, Tap "Start drawing hole(s)". Choose whether you want to cut out a rectangular fragment or any polygon.

Cutting polygonal holes "Draw a shape"

If your hole should be polygonal, select "Draw a shape" at the top of the map and start drawing Figure 2. Cutting holes with the "Draw a shape" tool is very simple and works the same way as when creating areas. Tap on the map where you want to find the first vertex of the hole's polygon. By tapping on the next vertices you will create lines that these vertices will connect. Double-tapping on the last vertex causes the first vertex to be connected to the last one closing the created shape in the polygon.

When your polygon-shaped hole is ready tap "Save hole(s)" to save changes. If you want to cancel the hole you cut, just tap "Cancel changes" and the cut out will return to the map.

Cutting using the "Draw a rectangle" tool

If you want to cut a rectangular fragment in your farm, it's very easy to do it using the "Draw a rectangle" tool Figure 3. Remember to start by tapping "Start drawing hole(s)" in the upper left corner of the map. Now you can choose the "Draw a rectangle" button which is in the centre at the top of the map.

Drawing rectangular holes is very simple and it works in the same way as in the case of creating rectangular areas on the map. Choose a place on the map that will be one corner of your hole, tap and drag the rectangular to the desired size, release, and the hole will be cut. Is the rectangular fragment that you want to cut ready? Tap "Save hole(s)" to save changes. If you want to cancel the hole you cut, just tap "Cancel changes" and the cut out will return to the map.

Remove hole(s)

Have you already cut a hole in the course and want to remove it? You can do it any time, nothing simpler, just tap on this tract in the tracts menu and choose “Edit tract” Figure 4 or tap on this tract on the map. Then you will see a label with information about the tract Figure 5. Here you can find "Remove hole(s)". Just tap on this text and all previously cut fragments will return to the tract and the tract will again have its original shape.
