Subdivide existing parcels

00:06

In this video, we're going to use the automated parcel creation tools to subdivide an existing parcel using the slide and swing line commands.

00:18

So, first, we have to go initiate the process creation tools by dropdown Parcels,

00:22

selecting Parcel Creation Tools and selecting our Parcel Layout Tools bar.

00:28

What we're going to go ahead and do is specify our automatic parcel creation parameters.

00:34

What we're going to do is do a minimum area of a third of an acre, which is 14,375 square feet.

00:45

We're going to set our minimum frontage to 60.

00:47

We're going to leave our minimum frontage at offset as yes.

00:51

We're going to change our frontage offset to 20 feet.

00:55

We're going to have a minimum depth of 50 feet and a maximum depth of 50 feet.

01:01

We are not going to specify a maximum depth.

01:05

And we are going to use the shortest frontage.

01:07

For our automatic parcel creation, we are going to leave "On" automatic mode and we are going to choose to redistribute the remainder.

01:16

The choices for remainder distribution is,

01:18

if you come up with a solution and you have a small parcel leftover that does not meet the parcel sizing criteria,

01:25

this is how you choose to redistribute that remainder.

01:29

You can either create a parcel from the remainder, place the remainder in the last parcel,

01:33

or redistribute the remainder across all the parcels that you create.

01:37

So I'm going to choose redistribute remainder.

01:39

And you can see in the image below, it shows you how that remainder distribution is going to work.

01:45

So now we're going to dropdown and we are going to do a swing line creation first.

01:50

Civil 3D is going to prompt us to select what site we want to do it in.

01:54

We have these previous three parcels in the development site, so we're going to go ahead and keep using the development site.

01:59

We're going to make them property parcels and we are not going to assign label styles yet.

02:06

So we're going to go ahead and click "OK".

02:08

Civil 3D is prompting us to select a parcel to be subdivided.

02:11

I want to subdivide this area so that we're going to create them into smaller developable lots.

02:18

So I'm going to select the area label for this parcel and then Civil 3D will prompt me to select a starting point on my frontage.

02:27

So my frontage is going to go along what could potentially be my right-of-way parcel.

02:32

So I'm going to select this point on my right-of-way frontage.

02:36

I'm going to go along this line and Civil 3D forces me to stay on this line because it knows that this entity is a frontage.

02:44

So I'm going to select an area that is about perpendicular to the corner of this.

02:48

So we're going to go right about here.

02:52

And then Civil 3D is asking me to specify a swing point.

02:55

My swing point is going to be from this point right here.

02:58

And what Civil 3D automatically does is it creates these three swing line parcels,

03:02

and then tells me that this is going to be a new parcel and this area is going to be a new parcel.

03:07

And so I'm going to go ahead and hit "Enter" to accept that.

03:11

And then I'm going to go ahead and dropdown and choose slide line create.

03:15

So slide line create is asking me to subdivide another parcel.

03:19

I'm going to select the area label for this remaining area down here.

03:24

Civil 3D is going then prompt me to select a point on the frontage.

03:27

I'm going to start here and I'm going to come around my frontage this way and go all the way around my frontage to this point here.

03:40

Civil 3D is now asking me to specify an angle.

03:43

This is the angle that our parcels will come off of our frontage at.

03:47

So what I want to do is I want to select the endpoint of this parcel and select the backpoint of this parcel.

03:54

What Civil 3D is going to do is it will now automatically create all these parcels along that frontage.

03:60

I'm going to hit "Enter" to accept that and I'm going to do one last slide line create.

04:05

I'm going to subdivide this property.

04:07

I'm going to use the frontage from this point, returning around to the end of this curve.

04:13

And I'm going to specify my angle from that point to my swing line point and then it's going to give me three more parcels.

04:23

And I'm going to hit "Enter" to accept those parcels,

04:26

and we have now used swing line and slide line to subdivide this single parcel into multiple smaller parcels.
