Parcel Creation
In this module, you learn how to create parcels and apply label styles to the parcels. Parcel layout is a critical part of the subdivision design process and is a balance between the desires of the developer, public regulators, and private and special interest groups. Most development regulations reference minimum setback and area requirements for parcels. The overall site may have constraints on the amount of open space or the amount of runoff that is allowed to drain off a site. Developments also can hold various types of land use, such as single-family conventional or cluster housing, multifamily units, commercial buildings, and open space; all of which may have separate regulations.
Objectives
After completing this module, you will be able to:

Create a right-of-way (ROW). Create parcels using the layout tools. Create parcels from objects. Renumber parcels. Edit parcel segments. Label parcels with bearings and distances. Label parcels with tags. Create a parcel table. Create parcel reports

NOTES
Parcel Creation
The term subdivision refers to the division of a larger parcel into smaller parcels. AutoCAD Civil 3D uses the term site to represent a group of objects such as alignments, feature lines, and grading groups that can interact with each other. The site is a topological organization of these objects and their associated data, which allows interaction between the objects. For example, a block parcel, or boundary parcel, can be subdivided into smaller parcels because of the shared topology in the site. There are no parcel overlaps or leftover slivers that are not part of a parcel because of this shared topology. A site does not necessarily relate to all objects in a particular area. Drawings can have multiple sites, each of which can have associated objects and can be located in the same block parcel. Parcels are intelligent objects in AutoCAD Civil 3D that can be either created from objects or by using the Civil 3D parcel layout tools. When you create parcels from objects, you select lines, polylines, and arcs created with standard AutoCAD drafting techniques. When you use the parcel layout tools, you create parcels based on minimum area or road frontage criteria. The final designed parcels, sometimes called lots, form the basis for the subdivision plat, which is the legal document describing the boundaries of the parcels.
You begin this module by creating a boundary parcel, the major alignment that bisects the site, and a right-of-way buffer for the alignment. Creating the alignment and right-of-way effectively divides the boundary parcel into a northern and southern parcel. The northern parcel of the site is subdivided using both manual and automatic parcel layout tools, focusing on road frontage and parcel area as the key design parameters. The southern parcel of the site uses a technique of creating parcels from existing polylines. You then perform final geometry edits on the parcels and renumber them sequentially.

NOTES
Labeling requirements for parcels varies according to the client and the engineering company. You use several tools and styles for labeling lines, curves, and areas. Tags are utilized along with tables to organize the parcel data. Finally, you create external reports for the parcels using different report forms available in the Reports Manager.
Key Terms
Site A site is a topological collection of objects such as alignments, feature lines, and grading groups that can interact with each other. Drawings can have multiple sites, each of which can have associated objects. Different sites can occupy the same geographic space. A right-of-way (ROW) is a buffer placed around a horizontal road alignment in order to provide legal access for the government outside of the actual roadway for utilities or improvements. The length of a parcel segment adjacent to the road. This is a commonly used design parameter for parcels. Parcel and lot are synonymous terms, used interchangeably in the land development business. Both refer to a legally-defined piece of land. The area of the parcel in imperial (acres, sq. ft.) or metric (hectares, sq. m.) units. Area is frequently the primary design parameter for parcels. A parcel table can be used to organize information about lines or curves in the parcels. Line or Curve tags must be used as labels. Tags, or tag labels, are a shorthand method of labeling lines or curves. A line label is normally L1, L2, and so on, and a curve label is C1, C2, and so on. Using tags reduces the amount of text directly around or inside the parcel, making the drawing more readable. A tab on the Toolspace window used for creating external reports for Civil 3D data. Topology defines the spatial relationship between objects. Topology can be thought of as a set of rules that enforce behavior among objects. For example, a subdivided parcel cannot extend past the boundaries of the parcel from which it was subdivided; it must be contained within the larger parcel. This is the beginning parcel from which all smaller parcels are subdivided. This typically is the boundary of the property for the project.

NOTES
EXERCISE 1: CREATE A RIGHT-OF-WAY

In this exercise, you create a right-of-way (ROW) parcel beginning with the boundary parcel and then bisecting it with a horizontal road alignment. The Create ROW command is useful when a large parcel will have a roadway entering or bisecting it. The process is to first create the boundary parcel, and then create the alignment, and finally to create the right-of-way based on the design criteria. The Right-of-Way command creates a buffer around the alignment in order to provide legal access for the government outside of the actual roadway for utilities or improvements. Note that a right-of-way parcel is not linked to the alignment used to create it. That is, if you move the alignment, the ROW parcel does not shift. When you complete this exercise, your screen should resemble the illustration as shown.
For this exercise, open /Module 07 Parcels/I_Parcels-EX1.dwg (M_Parcels-EX1.dwg). 1. In Toolspace, click the Prospector tab. 2. Right-click Sites and click New. 3. For Name, enter Site 1. Click OK.

EXERCISE 2: CREATE PARCELS USING LAYOUT TOOLS

In this exercise, you create parcels using layout tools. Many different tools are available to help create parcels. You can also use either manual or automatic layout methods. The two primary criteria used in laying out parcels are minimum road frontage and parcel area. If you want to control the parcel sizing using the area, you need to set the frontage criteria very small. If you want to control the parcel sizing using the frontage distance, you need to set the area criteria very small. When you complete this exercise, your screen should resemble the following illustration.
For this exercise, open /Module 07 Parcels/I_Parcels-EX2.dwg (M_Parcels-EX2.dwg). 1. Zoom to the northern portion of the site.

EXERCISE 3: CREATE PARCELS FROM OBJECTS

In this exercise, you create parcels from objects that already exist in the drawing file. Designers often inherit a drawing that has existing objects that represent parcels. These objects can be lines, arcs, or polylines. For proper parcel analysis, labeling, and reporting functionality, you need to convert these to intelligent parcel objects. The Create Parcels from Objects command is used for this purpose. When you complete this exercise, your screen should resemble the illustration as shown.
For this exercise, open /Module 07 Parcels/I_Parcels-EX3.dwg (M_Parcels-EX3.dwg). 1. Zoom to the southern section of the subdivision, below the alignment.
2. Click the down arrow on the Layer Properties toolbar and thaw the C-

NOTES
all of the polylines, and press ENTER. The Create Parcels from Objects dialog box has several settings that should be inspected or modified. Any project can have multiple sites that contain alignments, feature lines, grading groups, and parcels. The process of creating parcels will automatically create a site. If a site already exists, you can assign the new parcels to the existing site. In this case, Site 1 is the default.
9. For Parcel Style, select Single Family. In your company / client drawing template (DWT), you can also change the Command settings for CreateParcelFromObjects so the Parcel Style is set to Single-Family automatically. The Area Label Style is set to Parcel Number. Note that the existing polylines will be erased and intelligent parcel objects will be created. 10. Select Erase existing entities.
07-20
NOTES
11. Click OK. The parcels are created. When using this method, the polylines must be connected at each vertex and carefully snapped. Any slivers between parcels will result in phantom parcels. 12. Right-click the parcels and click Isolate Objects > End Object Isolation.
13. In Toolspace, click the Prospector tab. 14. Expand the Sites, Site 1, and the Parcels trees. 15. If necessary, right-click Parcels and click Refresh. 16. Click Site 1. Notice the overall site previewed in the Item View area.

There are several commands to edit parcels. 15. Click Parcels > Create Parcel by Layout. 16. On the Parcel Layout Tools toolbar, click Delete Sub-entity. 17. When prompted to select the subentity to remove, click the new line used to subdivide the northeast parcel.
07-26
NOTES
18. Press ESC twice. The parcel dividing line is deleted and the extra parcel is deleted.
19. Enter UNDO. Press ENTER twice to undo the command and the two parcels are restored. If you make a mistake while laying out parcels, you can also use the Undo button on the toolbar. The Parcel Layout Tools toolbar has other useful commands to help in modifying parcel shapes. Review the toolbar buttons. Normally, you need to renumber parcels so there is a sequential order to the numbering. To change the parcel numbering, you use the Renumber Parcels command. Reviewing the current numbering scheme, Parcel 1 is in the southern section, Parcel 2 is in the north, and Parcel 3 is the Orchard Lane right-of-way. You start renumbering in the northern section. 20. Click Parcels > Edit Parcel > Renumber/Rename Parcels. 21. In the Renumber/Rename Parcels dialog box, for Starting number, enter 1. Click OK.
07-27
NOTES
You need to draw a line crossing into each parcel, in the order desired for the parcels. 22. When prompted to Specify Start Point, click in the left parcel, stretch the line northeast into Parcel 94. Click, and then stretch the line south into Parcel 2 and click again.
23. Press ENTER twice to end the command. The parcels are renumbered. Notice that the right-of-way number has changed and the parcel previously numbered Parcel 1 has been renumbered.
24. Continue renumbering the southern section of the site as desired. 25. Close the drawing and do not save the changes.
07-28
NOTES
EXERCISE 5: LABEL PARCELS

In this exercise, you use a variety of labeling techniques for parcels. Creating a plat for the site requires that certain information about each parcel be displayed. These requirements vary depending on the jurisdiction, but generally the segment direction, lengths, and area of the parcels are required. Parcel labels include labels for lines, curves, and areas and you can specify styles for each. You can also use tags to label the lines and curves and create tables to summarize the information. This is common practice to keep the drawing readable. When you complete this exercise, your screen should resemble the illustration as shown.
For this exercise, open /Module 07 Parcels/I_Parcels-EX5.dwg (M_Parcels-EX5.dwg). 1. Click Parcels > Add Parcel Labels > Add Parcel Labels. 2. In the Add Parcel Labels dialog box, click the down arrow under Features. This box is used for labels of all types, not just for parcels. For Features, select Parcel.
07-29
NOTES
Review the other settings in the dialog box. You use the Single Segment Label type. 3. Click Add. 4. Zoom to a parcel. 5. Click a parcel line near the middle of the line. A single parcel line label is added using the Bearing Over Distance style.
6. Add a few more line labels by clicking the lines. These parcels are dynamic and change when a segment is modified. Make note of the labeled distances for two adjacent parcels. 7. Use a right crossing window to select the bisection line between the two parcels with labels. The segment grip is now available. 8. Click the grip and move the mouse to the east.
07-30
NOTES
9. Click to complete the edit. Notice the change in the labeled distances. Adding line labels can make the drawing difficult to read.
There are two options to correct this problem. First, you can change the drawing scale to make the model space drawing area more readable. This does not modify the plotting scale in paper space, so depending on the viewport scale, the labels could still be difficult to read. Remember that setting the text height for a style only modifies the final printed height of the text. The second option is to use line labels with a table summarizing the information. You make a new style of line label to accomplish this. 10. In Toolspace, click the Settings tab.
07-31
NOTES
11. Expand the Parcel, Label Styles, and Line trees. 12. Right-click Line, and click New. 13. On the Information tab, for Name, enter Line Tag.
14. Click the General tab. 15. For Display Mode, select Tag.
16. Click OK. 17. In the Add Labels dialog box, for Line label style, select Line Tag.
18. Click Add. 19. Select several parcel lines to add tags. Press ENTER.
07-32
NOTES
20. Change the Label type to Multiple Segment and again, change the Line Label style to Line Tag. 21. Click Add. 22. When prompted to Select Parcels, click a parcel number and press ENTER. All lines in the parcel are tagged. 23. Click Close. 24. In the Settings tab, expand the Parcel, Label Styles, and Curve trees. 25. Right-click Curve, and click New. 26. On the Information tab, for Name, enter Curve Tag. 27. Click the General tab. 28. For Display Mode, select Tag. 29. Click OK. You label one curve with a full label (Delta Over Length and Radius) and a second with a tag. The Curve label style should be set to Delta Over Length and Radius. 30. In the Add Labels dialog box, click Add and select a curve. Press ENTER. Curve labels on very small curves are not generally a good idea.
07-33

NOTES
Questions
1. Using Civil 3D terminology, what objects are contained in a site? 2. When creating an alignment through a parcel, will the parcel always be subdivided? Explain. 3. What are the two controlling design factors for designing parcels? 4. Why are curve tags and a curve table commonly used? 5. What is LandXML? 6. Where would you change the default parcel style used with the Parcel Layout tools? 7. Describe how topology helps the process of parcel subdivision.
Answers
1. A site can contain alignments, feature lines, grading groups, and parcels. 2. When an alignment crosses an existing parcel, setting the alignment site to None prevents the alignment from subdividing the parcel. If an alignment is included in a site, the parcel will be subdivided. 3. Road frontage and parcel area. 4. Text describing the curve geometry can often end up looking crowded. A tag is much smaller, and then a table of the curve information can be created. This keeps the data organized and the drawing more readable. 5. LandXML is the standard form of XML (extensible markup language) used in land development software purposes such as exporting data to other applications or viewing reports on design objects. 6. In the Settings tab, expand the Parcels, Commands tree, and double-click CreateParcelbyLayout to edit the settings for the command. 7. Topology maintains rules about geometries and object interaction. When subdividing a parcel, the new parcel cannot extend over the larger boundary parcel. After completing the subdivision, all area inside the initial parcel is contained in a parcel; no area is unclaimed.

NOTES
Module Summary
This module focused on introducing the student to the techniques for designing parcels, labeling parcels, and producing reports. A right-of-way (ROW) was created by first creating a site parcel and an alignment. Parcels were laid out using layout tools and by converting closed polylines into parcels. Parcels were edited and renumbered, then labeled using several styles. Parcel line, curve, and area tables were created. Finally, you used the Reports Manager in the Toolbox to create reports in a web browser for the parcels in the drawing.
