# Split Zones

A zone is drawn to the required dimension and has the same height as all other Zones drawn over the same Drawing. Sometimes, a Zone needs to be split, or divided into smaller sub-zones for more accurate modeling.

## Split a Zone

To split a zone into two, first navigate to the 'Split Zones' symbol and select the zone you want to divide. Hold down 'Shift' to add a new point to the zone, or if points have been previously added during zone editing, you can use those. Next, left-click to select the first point where you want to initiate the split, then choose the second point.&#x20;

Note that the original zone name will be retained in the split zone, so it's advisable to update the name of the newly created zone for clarity.
