AricaHD Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 (edited) I have a survey plat that I am using to create my terrain perimeter. The problem I am having is with the curved parts of my property. I have a cul-de-sac and a long slightlu curved length of land that borders the road. The survey gives me the following details for these lines: Cul-de-sac 180.8 ft. Other line: Delta 91 degrees 30' T=315 ft. length of line 694 ft. How do I take these details and create the arc. Ie: Arc, Start point, end point and chord? Edited August 11, 2017 by AricaHD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidJPotter Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 If your plat map is scaled you can scan the document and import the image of your plat map into Suite or whatever. Then scale it to "real world" scale within Suite using provided tools then orient the scan to your structure (house footprint) and then trace over its lines with Suite's terrain perimeter and elevation objects to produce a reasonable facsimile of your property. You then use the "Terrain Specification Dialog - Building Pad" input box to align the terrain plane to your structure. DJP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AricaHD Posted August 11, 2017 Author Share Posted August 11, 2017 Unfortunately, the only plat map I have is not to scale and very old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
