Draw Plot tool ​

Shortcut: none

Toolbar: Site group (Site aspect)

Draw the site plot boundary as a polygon. Any simple shape works — trapezoid, kite, irregular survey — and the first edge you draw is treated as the road front.


Prerequisites ​

  • An active level in Plans and the Site aspect selected in the toolbar.

Workflow ​

  1. Click Draw Plot in the toolbar.
  2. Click the two ends of the road-facing front edge first.
  3. Keep clicking around the boundary; corners snap to grid, walls, and the CAD reference just like wall drawing.
  4. Close the shape by clicking the first point again or pressing Enter (after at least three corners). Press Esc to cancel.

After saving:

  • The boundary is survey truth. Width/depth resizing is only offered for plain rectangles; a surveyed shape keeps its corners.
  • Road / neighbour edge roles are inferred from the front edge and can be reassigned per edge from the plot inspector.
  • Setbacks derive per edge role and build the buildable envelope used by room placement snapping.
