How Do I Create a Site and Lock a Credit?
After launching TestFit and creating a new deal, you can define your site boundary to ensure that the site area that utilizes a site credit accurately encompasses the required space.
- Search for your site
- Define measurement system
- Define your site (Parcel/Draw/Metes &Bounds).
- Adjust aspect ratio of lockable site area with grips to assure it fits
- Ensure the required typologies or combination of typologies are selected and highlighted blue before clicking on the Lock Site Area button and lock the site credit area.
- Your site is created!
Defining Your Site Boundary
You can now create a site with one of three methods or lock your site area. Defining your site prior to locking the Site Area will ensure it fits within the locked area.
Creating a site
There are three ways of defining your site:
- Defining by Parcels
- Drawing the boundary of the site
- Enter the Metes and Bounds
1. Draw Site
To draw the site boundary, click the Draw Site button, and left click to select the bounds of your site.
2. Define by Parcels
To select your parcels, hit the Define by Parcels button, then click and drag over the parcels you want. Releasing the left click will add all the parcels to your site
3. Metes and Bounds
For Metes and Bounds, you enter your coordinates.
NOTE: When entering your coordinates, don't enter the last point as TestFit will auto-close the shape.
Once your site area is locked you cannot readjust its size or location.
