This article will show you the various ways to edit the property boundary from simply editing the measurements to redrawing the Lot.
Depending on what you are wanting to achieve, each of the various options can be used to either edit the displayed boundary measurements or adjust the whole lot.
 |
Lot Management - Allows the manipulation of the property boundary. There are multiple options to either Edit, Merge or Draw a lot. |
 |
Edit Property - Opens the edit options for the boundary. |
 |
Edit - Unlocks the measurements on the boundary for editing. |
Edit Dimensions
While this option is the easiest. It only changes the displayed measurements on the boundary. The live scale measurements on the property will remain the same.
- Select the property to edit.
- Click the Spanner / Wrench icon on the corner of the boundary.
- Select Edit.
- Click on the boundary measurement to edit.
- Click on the circular arrow to undo the change.
- Select the Spanner / Wrench tool when done to lock in the changes.
Edit Lot
- Click the Wrench / Spanner icon in the toolbar on the right side of the screen.
- Select Edit Lot.
The property will highlight white with a letter identifying each site and the Draw lot panel will show up on the left side of the screen.
- Click & hold with the hand cursor to drag the boundary corners to the correct position.
- Hover with the cross arrow cursor on a boundary line and drag to the correct position.
- In the Draw lots panel on the left side of the screen, edit the Label (the address or APN of the original parcel).
The change to the label can be something as simple as a dot after the street number or something that stands out more like the word 'Edit'. This label will display in the dashboard where you can easily access the lot again.
- Click the green Save button when complete.
- Click the Cancel button to clear everything back to the original settings.
Redraw Lot
This method works a bit like the polygon drawing tool. Ideally it works best for square lots as its easy to draw these 90 degree angles with toggle snap. However with the action box any angle or dimension can be entered in.
- Search the property that will be redrawn or subdivided.
- Click Additional Info to turn off any additional site data.
- Click Lookup Layers to turn off any trees if necessary.
- Click the toggle snap icon.
- Click the Wrench / Spanner icon in the toolbar on the right side of the screen.
- Select Draw Lot.
- Select Clicking on Map.
Click on the starting point on the property. If Toggle Snap is active each point should snap to a corner and each line will run parallel to the boundary. Press the enter key to highlight the dimension and enter an exact distance.
- Press enter and type the measurement for each side.
- Use the action box to enter the dimension and angles for each side.
- Click on the point once it is set.
- Click on the starting point to close the boundary.
- Left click to edit the proposed lot.
- Click and hold the rotate icon and drag to spin the lot.
- Click & hold with the hand cursor to drag the boundary corners to adjust.
- Hover with the cross arrow cursor on a boundary line and drag to the adjust.
Do not click anywhere in the Draw Lot panel until the proposed lot is finalised. You will not be able to rotate or resize the lot after making any adjustments on the left panel.
- Edit the label.
- Identify each of the Boundary types accordingly.
- Click the green Save button when complete.
- Click the Cancel button to clear everything and start again.
All the boundary data and setbacks have now adjusted for the smaller lot size.
