BCHOP

The chop operation takes a block model and a splitting factor, a positive integer n. It creates n output models with non-overlapping extents whose union is the original model. The cut planes must be along parent blocks. The pieces should be approximately the same size. The schemas have the same block sizes, but different extents.


Usage:
