Splitting a Point Apart

An independent point with more than one child can be split into multiple points, one for each child. For example, a point that is the center of a circle and is also the endpoint of two segments can be split so that the circle center and segment endpoints are now three separate, unrelated points. Select the point you wish to split and choose Split Point from the Edit menu. The point splits into two or more separate points a small distance from each other.

To split a point apart, you must select an independent point with two or more children.

Split Point

In this example, if you want to split the circle center from the segment endpoint while leaving the two segments with a common endpoint, first split the point apart, then select the two segment endpoints and choose Merge Points.
