[Doug_Morrison]

I have a plot survey map of my lot, how do I build a Terrain perimeter with bearings and dimensions?

If it's a PDF, import it to your plan, set the scale from marked dimensions, then trace it. You'll want to turn it so that your walls run straight up for the structure. In other words, turn the terrain, not the house 

[y-g-m-n]

Change NUMBER STYLE (pretty much on lower left of any object edit screen) to

Number Style = DECIMAL FEET

Ange Style =Quadrant bearing

 

Then draw a line and then edit it to length and angle written on plot plan.

do this for the 3 straight sides.

Then move them so they connect at proper ends.

then draw in arc and edit it to match info on plot plan.

 

Easy Peasy.

 

I have tried it where you draw rough shape then edit lines but it is PIA as you have to be sure what is locked start or end else it changes other lines.

 

Now what you may find out is it is not perfect due to rounding on surveyors part so just choose one to be the error part like maybe the radius.

 

Here is your plot plan:

The arc is the part I had to make work as I figure that is easier to mess up than others.

 

IT is just a poly line you need to convert it to TERRAIN.
