Create a boundary parcel from objects. The first step to any parceling project is to create an outer boundary for the site.
Master It Open the MasteringParcels.dwg file, which you can download from www.sybex.com/go/masteringcivil3d2012. Convert the polyline in the drawing to a parcel.
Create a right-of-way parcel using the right-of-way tool. For many projects, the ROW parcel serves as frontage for subdivision parcels. For straightforward sites, the automatic Create ROW tool provides a quick way to create this parcel. Cul-de-sacs serve as a terminal point for a cluster of parcels.
Master It Continue working in the Mastering Parcels.dwg file. Create a ROW parcel that is offset by 25′ on either side of the road centerline with 25′ fillets at the parcel boundary. Then add the circles representing the cul-de-sac as a parcel.
Create subdivision lots automatically by layout. The biggest challenge when creating a subdivision plan is optimizing the number of lots. The precise sizing parcel tools provide a means to automate this process.
Master It Continue working in the Mastering Parcels.dwg file. Create a series of lots with a minimum of 8,000 square feet and 75′ frontage.
Add multiple parcel-segment labels. Every subdivision plat must be appropriately labeled. You can quickly label parcels with their bearings, distances, direction, and more using the segment labeling tools.
