Locate & Lock your Site Area and Define the Bounds
Prior to creating a site in the canvas area you'll need to follow the steps below:
- Select the typology you plan on working with
- Define the measurement system (Imperial/Metric)
- Search/Navigate to the Address
- Lock the site area
Searching for & Locking 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 (Copy/Paste these from Google/Apple maps).
Click the Lock Site Area and TestFit will then place a pin at that exact address.
Defining Your Site Boundary
Once you've locked your site area, you'll be able to create a site with one of three methods.
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.
