Which Site?

Let's say you have at least two sites in the same drawing; one is called Survey Plat where the 3D Geometry is set to Flatten to Elevation, and one is called Lot Grading where the 3D Geometry is set to Use Elevation. How do you tell which site you're looking at? Is there a global setting to turn off the visibility of everything(Alignments, Grading Groups, Feature Lines, and Parcels) in a particular site? How do you keep things straight when you have multiple proposed site designs with multiple Parcel arrangements and Alignments?

OK, so on another thread I started, I'm using Fred's suggestion to draw some straw man Parcels and slap 'em around a bit to learn how they interact when you move or copy them to another Site. Cool. I know more than I did yesterday, so I'm happy about that. But I'd still like to know how to determine which Site my Parcels are on and how to turn off the visibility of all the other Sites.

In the above screenshot, I grip-edited one of the Parcel Segments. By selecting "Site 5" my Preview shows which Segments belong to Site 5, but what if my drawing is hugely complicated with, say, dozens of Parcels, Alignments, and Feature Lines. How then do you tell what Site you're on?

There is no single command to simply display everything on one site. Set up the Object layers so Parcels automatically get created on a layer with the site name. You can do the same with Flines. Layer control will now help you better see the site separation.

HTH. Wish it was my brilliance and simplicity but I am just passing it along. 😉

You could also use featureline styles to differentiate linework in different sites. I don't know if it would have any advantage over using layers but I wanted to through it out there in case there is.

Thanks, Neil. All options are on the table, and the more choices, the better.

Here are some good rule for Parcels, that Dana Probert wrote sometime ago.
