If you look at your drawing, on the lower-left side of your right of way it looks incomplete. We will add a cul-de-sac here. Rather than go through all the mechanics of a cul-de-sac, a block has been created for you and you will insert it and turn it into a parcel. This section also introduces some editing tools.
1. Insert the CulDeSacBlock.dwg file using the settings shown in Figure 5-17.

2. From the Home tab and Create Design panel, expand Parcel Create Parcel From Objects.
3. At the Select lines, arcs, or polylines to convert into parcels or [Xref]: prompt, draw a window around all of the cul-de-sac objects and press ↵.
4. In the Create Parcels – From Objects dialog, make sure Site is set to Subdivision Lots, Parcel Style is set to Property, Area Label Style is set to Name Square Foot & Acres, and Erase Existing Entities is checked. Click OK. Your drawing should look like Figure 5-18.

The cul-de-sac is now a parcel, but there are some extra lines that need to be taken care of. Let’s see how to clean this up a bit.
5. Select Parcel Creation Tools from the Home tab and Create Design Panel Parcel drop-down list. The Parcel Layout Tools palette opens.
6. Select the Delete Sub-entity tool. At the Select subentity to remove: prompt, select the right of way that interferes with the cul-de-sac, as shown in Figure 5-19.

7. Your cul-de-sac is complete, as shown on Figure 5-20.
