Overall Parcel

I thought you could create an overall parcel but, I can't figure out how. I have 21 parcels and I want one parcel that is all 21 together.

 

Thanks

Parcels are in Sites.  Make a new site and use that to make another single Parcel.

I'm confused?

 

Would not the overall parcel have been the parent of the subdivision? I did not know you could make parcels without subdividing?

Thank you

This is a situation where Civil3d does things differently than the real world.  Most of the time the lot that you own is a subdivision of the larger parcel that the developer started from, which is a further subdivision of a Section, which is part of a Township etc.  You may own the individual lot but the larger parcels continue to exist as a reference for the surveyors to work from.

 

The problem is that in C3d when you subdivide off a lot, that portion is removed from the larger parcel.

Yes I am aware of that, I was confused the the OP got 21 parcels without subdividing.

Not sure what you mean Joe. I can't see anywhere in the OP's post where it says he did not subdivide.

Anyway, it's easy to do. Just make parcels from interconnected linework.

I wasn't thinking from objects. I couldn't figure out how to draw a parcel from the parcel tool bar? I see now fixed lines and curves can do it but it kinda clunky.

Thank you

When you create a bunch of parcels on a site, an overal parcel is automatically created that contains all of the connected "sub"-parcels. You can attach a label to it as you would any parcel. No need to use separate sites, etc. It's done automatically.

You may want to look at keeping one file for the existing parcel and make another for the proposed parcels.

 

Use xref's to bring them all into you design files and sheet files.

Are you sure abou that?  I'm looking at the Parcel-2C drawing from the Tutorials.  Toolspace says that there's only 11 parcels in the drawing and that matches what I see.  How do I get an label onto the overall parcel?

If the you want the total area labeled you also may just want an area label on the Site. Note this would assume the entire site only the one large existing parcel.

 

Do this in Prospector by expanding the Site tree and right click on Parcels. You can add an area label to the site in this dialog.

Thanks I saw this and it works. Now I am trying to give the site parcel a different style that the individual style. Its not working like I thought it did before. The outer overall parcel should be able to have a style that is a different color but it doesn't seem to work. -John

As johnm pointed out, right click on Parcels in the Prospector (under the appropriate Site), go to "Propoerties", and attach a Site area label style. (See attached file.) In the red oval, upper right corner, the label for the automatically created overall site appears. It is typically named Lot 0, and does not appear in the listing of Parcels.

 

Create a label to suit for the overall site, attach it via the Site Parcel Properties as described above, then crack a cold, frosty one, kick back, and proclaim to all what a freakin' genius you are.

In the same place as you attached a label, you can create and attach parcel styles as well.

Go back to the Site's parcel properties dialog. Assign the parcel style you want, hit the Apply button and then look at the list of Parcel Style Display Order and make sure the style assigned above is at the top of the list.
