Site Creation

A guide on creating a site

NOTE: When starting a project, you'll want to go through the following steps.

  1. Input the address of your site
  2. Define your site
  3. Select your Configurator
  4. Create the site

Searching for your site

You can search for your site by using its address or by its GPS coordinates.

Click into the address field in the Navigation Tree, and enter the address or GPS coordinates (you can copy these from Google/Apple maps).

TestFit will then zoom in to that address.


Define Your Site

To define your site, click the Add button, and select Site.

There are three ways of defining your site:

  • Draw the boundary of the site     draw boundary button
  • Enter the Metes and Bounds     Meets and Bounds button
  • Select Parcels     select parcels button

Draw Boundary

To draw the boundary, hit the draw boundary button, and left click to select the bounds of your site.

Metes and Bounds

For Metes and Bounds, you enter your coordinates.

metes and bounds as entered

NOTE: When entering your coordinates, don't enter the last point as TestFit will auto-close the shape.


Select Parcels

To select your parcels, hit the define from parcels button, then click and drag over the parcels you want. Releasing the left click will add all the parcels to your site, and you'll be prompted to select your configurator and building type.

Once you're finished hit Escape, and you'll be prompted to select your configurator.

NOTE: At this time, parcels can only contain 16 or fewer vertices.
