Parcels

[lctilley]

Does anyone know if there's a way that I can set up a parcel style to have separate lines types and weights in it? For instance, say I define a parcel that is adjacent to an existing ROW that I want to be white and phantom2 and a new ROW that I want to be magenta and phantom2 and one line to be blue and continuous and the last to be white and continuous. Can I get that kind of control? Will I need to put my parcels on some kind of layer that will not show up in the plotting and still allow the parcel labels to show up and just have other layers that will show the line work for the parcels the way I want?

Yes, you can set up 2 different ROW styles (Existing and Proposed) and use the Parcel Style Display Order to put what you want on top.

Matthew, thanks for the help. Parcels are still giving me fits. I understand what you are talking about somewhat, but not completely. I am attaching a picture or what our surveyor wants our line work to look like. I had to take this job back to LDD to accomplish. Excuse my ignorace but I can't see a way to do this in Civil 3D without having to create parcels for everything, ROW, overall boundary, etc. Am I wrong?

[lctilley]

Forgot the attachment apparently

You are actually correct. Everything needs to be defined and connected.
You will have a style for ROWs, open space, conservation easements, common areas.....
You'll need to set up your styles and labels accordingly.

Everything you see in the attached pic was done in C3D per styles and labels. And if you look over at the Settings, you'll see a portion of all the front end work I did to get everything to look standard.

Matthew:

How did you keep the parcel lines from showing in the gaps (dashes) along
your cyan ROW lines?

The ROW lines are set up to be parcels.
C3D uses the Parcel Style Display Order to prevent overlapping lines.

One option is to turn off the layer; you'll see the layer names in the
dialog when you are asked to supply a style.

Another option is to define parcels from enties, don't remove the entities
when you define the parcels, and then manipulate the layers you placed the
construction lines on (and turn off the parcel object and/or the parcel
segment layers).

Not sure where you're coming from Scott.
You don't need to touch the layers at all....

See my first post and view the attachment to see the Parcel Style Display Order.

This can also be used if an existing parcel and a proposed parcel are next to eachother.
I'd want the proposed line on top,
and you can see that in my image example.
So these 2 parcels now would share 1 border.
C3D knows that.
It will only show 1 line. Which line it shows it up to you and controlled via the Parcel Style Display Order.

[matthew.risch]

Thought I'd give a visual example.....

[lctilley]

Matthew, as of this moment, you seem to have the best grip on Parcels of anyone I've talked to and willing to share. I beg for your patience here as I try to get my weak mind wrapped around this.

The way I am understanding it, I need to create a parcel for my overall property, my internal ROW, my lots, and anything else I need to be labeled with bearings and distances, Is this correct?

Also, have you found a way to adapt a dynamic labeling style to label things like servitude's and building setbacks? That would be great.

In 2006, you need to create a separate site for these easements, etc. and
define them as parcel segments or they will interact with your main site. In
2007, you'll be able to label individual entities.

In many areas, the parcels, as well as the city blocks, the subdivision
outboundary, subdivision phase lines, and ROW's need to be defined in their
own sites with their own parcels styles (and their own site parcel styles
with appropriate site parcel labels). The program, in it's current state,
doesn't go deep enough to handle not only the display (when a boundary, a
phase line, a ROW, and a parcel exist in the same location), but also the
labeling of all these potentially overlapping conditions. However, if you
have good layer management skills and a well defined set of layer standards,
where display order manipulation falls short, layer management can pick up
the pieces nicely. For work in some states, it makes sense - think outside
the box.
