How do I Create a Site in Urban Planner+/Data Maps?
Locate & lock your Site Area then create a site.
Follow the steps below to get started:
- Search/Navigate to you site address
- Define the measurement system (Imperial/Metric)
- Resize the lockable site area with the Aspect Ratio slider. Your site will be created within this box
- You can now either:
- Define your site area
- Lock your site area
How do I find my site?
You can search for your site by using its address or by its GPS coordinates (latitudinal / longitudinal).
Click into the address field in the Navigation Tree, and enter the address or GPS coordinates (Copy/Paste these from Google/Apple maps).
How do I define my site boundary?
You can now create a site with one of three methods. Defining your site prior to locking the Site Area will ensure it fits within the locked area.
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.
How do I lock my Site Area?
With your site defined, click the Lock Site Area button. You will now be able to modify the existing site.
