Create parcels by layout

00:06

In this video, we're going to create a parcel using the manual creation method.

00:11

So we're going to go ahead and go up to the Home tab of the ribbon bar, dropdown in Parcels and select the Parcel Creation Tools.

00:18

In doing this, we're going to go ahead and start using a add fixed line with two points, I'm going to select that.

00:24

And what Civil 3D is going to prompt me to do is create my first initial parcel and set a site to work inside of,

00:32

and assign my parcel styles, and my area label styles.

00:37

So what I'm going to go ahead and do is I'm going to create a new site,

00:42

and I'm going to call it Development and I'm going to hit "Apply" and hit "OK".

00:49

And then I'm going to leave this as property and I'm going to leave my label styles because I'm not going to automatically add segment labels.

00:57

So I'm going to click "OK".

00:58

I'm going to click my line and I'm going to snap in on the endpoint of this polyline that I have,

01:06

and then I'm going to snap in on the end of the polyline at here.

01:10

Then I'm going to click on an arc.

01:12

I'm going to do a fixed curve three points.

01:14

I'm going to snap in on the end of this, I'm going to do a midpoint of this arc and then I'm going to do the endpoint of that arc.

01:24

And I'm going to go back to my line and I'm going to select the endpoint and then select the endpoint of this line.

01:34

Now that I'm going to the next line, I can just click on the endpoint and move on to this other endpoint,

01:41

and then select my curve again and select endpoint, midpoint, and endpoint.

01:54

And I will select my line again, choose endpoint and endpoint.

02:02

And then I will hit "Enter" to get out of that command and "Esc" to close out the parcel creation toolbar.

02:08

And if I zoom out, what you'll see here is in the center, I have a new label that is my first parcel.
