I will write a blog post on it tonight. Right now, gotta take some screen
captures until the heels of my hands bleed for an implemenation project.

Dana,
Since I am still just trying to figure out best practices, I have a few
questions.
Is "parcels for subcatchments" the same as post development watershed
boundaries?
Why do you do an alignment for Tc path?
What do you mean by "fighting for topology"?
and in general, could you explain the advantages of so many sites?(other
then the already noted stability issues) and are there any disadvantages of
objects being on separate sites?
Thanks for any info,
Dale

I usually have a handful:
Boundary (intact boundary)
Roads+Lots (the "subdivision")
Sanitary Sewers (alignments for pipe runs)
Storm Sewers (alignments for pipe runs)
Stormwater Management (parcels for subcatchments, alignments for TC path)
Grading (all my grading objects)
BRL and Easement (for misc things I want to take advantage of semi-automatic
labeling, etc but not interact with real subdivision)
At the very least you have to separate sites for alignments that shouldn't
interact. a big cause of drawing problems is notoriously your road
centerline, san sewer and storm alignments fighting for topology. those
MUST be separated by site (or split into different drawings)

Rick,
IMO, I use two sites. One site strictly for Parcels, then the other site is
used for pretty much everything thing else. (i.e. Alignments, ROW, sewer,
BSL, etc.) When handling Parcels, I just create layers for the ROW, BSL
lines, etc. and offset those lines from my Parcels directly into those
layers. Seems to work fine & I don't have to worry with bringing items to
the front.
On the other hand, if I have different Phases of an area, I will create
multiple Parcel Sites. (i.e. one for Phase 1, another for Phase 2, etc..)
Managing Sites:
"Parcel linework, grading objects, and alignments can only belong to one
unique site and do not interact with objects in a different site."
I hope this helps!
