Next, click on the edit handle in the top left corner, and drag it to the top left corner of your polyline at the end of Line 1.Using the Select Objects tool, click on one of the Terrain Perimeter's edge lines to select it, then click and drag the Move edit handle at its center so that the Terrain Perimeter is positioned over your plot plan polyline.If a terrain perimeter already exists or a polyline is not fully enclosed, this option will be grayed out and inaccessible. To do this, select the polyline, click on the Convert Polyline edit tool, then select the Terrain Perimeter option in the dialog that appears. Note: In Home Designer Pro, a closed polyline, such as the one created above, can be converted to a terrain perimeter.

Press the Tab key on your keyboard to update the dialog and move to the Angle field.Enter the Length information for Line 1.Once the line has been created, use the Select Objects tool to select the line, then click the Open Object edit button.

If you find that the Terrain Perimeter interferes with your drawing process, click Select Objects button, then select the Terrain Perimeter and Delete it.You can draw Line 1 wherever you like, but you may find it easiest to draw the entire polyline if it is not located near the Terrain Perimeter.Select CAD> Draw Line and click to begin by drawing CAD Line 1, starting from the bottom of the screen and dragging upwards.Select the Quadrant Bearing option, then click OK.Īngles in all dialogs will now be reported using bearings instead of degrees, as will angle information in the Status Bar. In Home Designer Pro, the Dialog Number/Angle Style dialog will display.

We have added the distance and bearing information with text for clarification. The image above shows what the completed plot plan will look like, based on this data. For the purposes of this example, we will use the following survey information: You can create a CAD polyline representation of your plot plan using the distance and bearing information from a survey, then edit the rectangular Terrain Perimeter line to fit it exactly. How do I create a plot plan using survey information? The information in this article applies to:
