Flexible Parcels
Flexible Parcels | Bookends
Not every site is perfectly rectangular. In a typical subdivision, irregular geometry can leave unrealized space that reduces overall efficiency. The Flexible Parcels feature allows the solver to handle non-rectangular parcels, maximizing tricky irregular sites and improving results at corners — without requiring manual adjustments to your layout.
General Updates
Automatic Setback Creation
TestFit now automatically labels site boundary edges as front, side, or rear using nearby road data at site creation. Edges are color-coded on the canvas — red for front, amber for side, green for rear — and can be overridden via dropdown at any time.
Web Updates
Pro Forma in Reports
Pro Forma Views lets you embed live, editable pro forma metrics directly into feasibility reports — dynamically linked to your underlying model and custom pro forma so changes cascade instantly through your analysis without leaving the report.
Global Pipeline Search lets you instantly find deals across your entire organization's pipeline and directory folders using keyword search, so you can locate any deal without navigating folder by folder.
