Connect crop holes AB

Some tool functions are only available in expert mode

This option lets you add a crop hole zone between two existing rows in order to merge plots.

The option is only available when at least one map is loaded in the application.

When the option is started, a window appears allowing you to :

• Select the project to be modified
• Modify hole area creation parameters
  • activate / deactivate hole area connection in automatic mode
  • Enable / disable creation of rounded crop hole zone
• Manage existing holes areas
  • You can activate/deactivate the deletion of points when deleting load-shedding zones.
  • You can click on an item in the hole area list to display it with a red filter, or delete it by clicking on the delete icon.

The Automatic AB crop hole zone option is activated by enabling the Auto AB crop hole zone connection parameter and then clicking on the LINK button.

The option works in several stages:

• Polygonal selection of point group A, i.e. the points at the end of the 1st plot.
• Polygonal selection of point group B, i.e. the points at the end of the 2nd plot.
• Selection of 1st point A and 1st point B.

Once AB has been selected, the 1st hole area will be drawn between the row of point A and the row of point B, merging the two into a single row with a hole area running from A to B. Subsequent holes areas will be created by taking the nearest unselected points A and B for each hole area.

The Automatic AB hole area option is activated by deactivating the Auto AB crop hole zone connection parameter and then clicking on the LINK button.

How it works: select the end of a row, then the end of a second row, and draw a hole area between the two ends.

The Automatic AB hole area option is triggered by activating the Rounded crop hole zones parameter, then clicking on the LINK button. The option works either automatically or manually, depending on the Auto AB crop hole zone connection parameter.

If the rows are not perfectly aligned, the creation of curved crop hole zone prevents the robot from entering or leaving a hole area with a great an angle, by smoothing the curve of the trajectory.

Holes areas can be deleted from the Management of load-shedding zones section. This can be done in two different ways, depending on the value of the Delete points parameter:

• If the parameter is enabled, the row is cut at the load-shedding zone to form 2 rows.
• If the parameter is deactivated, the row remains whole, but the relief zone property is removed.
