How can I identify or add undefined structures to a site

This article will show you how to define existing structures that don't have a digital outline/roofline or add a missing structure that may not be visible due to old satellite imagery.

Any floorplan can be added into the design catalogue to be placed onto a site this can be useful if the house was just built. If there is no digital outline for an existing structure the polygon tool can be used as a substitute.

  • Swap to Satellite imagery.
  • Select the Polygon tool to traced the outline of the structure.

 

Use Toggle Snap when tracing to make sure your lines are square. 

 

 

This process can be used to make in any existing structure on the property. The Ruler tool can be used to add dimensions to it and the Annotations or Label tool can be used to identify it.
