How Do I Create a Site and Lock a Credit?
After launching TestFit and creating a new deal, define your site boundary and ensure that the site area that utilizes a site credit accurately encompasses the required space.
- Search for your site
- Specify the measurement system
- Define your site (Parcel/Draw/Metes &Bounds). Once you've created the site, the lockable deal area appears. Detailed instructions on these methods can be found below
- Your entire site must fit within the lockable site area before it can be locked:
- Adjust the aspect ratio of the lockable site area with the grips
- Move the lockable site area by selecting the site itself, click + hold the handle and drag it to the desired area
- Adjust the aspect ratio of the lockable site area with the grips
- Ensure the required typologies are selected (highlighted blue) before clicking the Lock Site Area button. This will consume a credit.
- Apply the desired Preset to the site
Defining Your Site Boundary
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.
