This article will guide you through the process of moving and aligning the lot boundary, as well as adjusting the locations of existing structures to ensure they are properly matched with the satellite imagery.
The boundary data for each property address is sourced from the digital mapping atlas of the respective state or region. However, since the satellite imagery may be provided by a different third-party vendor or captured at an angle, you might notice that the boundary does not perfectly align when you first access the site. You can easily adjust this by following the steps below.
- On the corner of the boundary, click the green wrench icon to unlock the boundary.
- Chose from one of the following options:
 |
Locks and unlocks the boundary and existing structures |
 |
Revert all changes back to the original settings. |
 |
Allows the movement of the boundary around the screen. |
How to Align the boundary with the satellite imagery?
- Select the + arrow icon.
- Click & hold anywhere inside the property and drag to position the boundary.
- Click Reset Lot to start again.
As you adjust the boundary outline, try to align it with the existing property fences.
How to adjust the outline of the Existing Structures?
This step is not required for houses as the app assumes the existing structure will be removed.
- Hover over the existing structure.
- Click on the wrench icon to unlock the structure.
- Left click & hold the large white dots & drag to the correct position.
- Left click on the small white dots to add additional corner points.

There should be one large dot on each corner around your design.
-
Once all the large dots are in the correct position, you can add more nodes by clicking the small white dots.
- Continue the process until complete.
- To confirm the updates, click on the spanner icon or anywhere on the screen other than the white dots.
