The user should LMC to start a polyline, and then make LMC each point required to create a polyline on the subdomain border, and then RMC to end the polyline. Once the two polygons have been created, one for each subdomain, EE will prompt the user for N-S, E-W or both kinds of connections by entering the number 1, 2 or 3 respectively as shown in Figure 2. A second integer value or 1 or 2 can be added after a comma to allow the connection options to prioritize the lowest bathymetry between faces and the highest bathymetry respectively. EE will then automatically make the connections for the user as shown in Figure 3.
Note that in some cases some connections may be made that are not wanted by the user and these should be deleted with the Delete Cell Connection option in the RMC form.
