Thanks all for your input. David Potter replied on the home talk forum with a video and shared tips for avoiding the distorted arc line I was getting. I was able to get it right. Thanks all.

I use home designer- pro 2019. I am able to change the dimensions on 3 sides which are straight but it is the arc on one side that is causing issues. I posted this on the home designer forum as well. I tried some other steps based on the suggestions there but still unsuccessful. If I may copy and paste my post here to see if you or anyone else can help me with this. " I tried by turning off the snaps and after selecting the dimension with mouse click (arc line), filled 20' in the box. Same issue remains for the arc Then I filled the 20' setback under preferences> edit behavior> concentric > jump, thinking that I would not have to change anything on the arc and will rather change the straight edges on the sides by filling out the dimension boxes. This time too as the change occurred on sides the setback got distorted at the arc When I first chose concentric>jump for 20', it comes out fine all sides including the arc. It is when I change the dimensions (by filling the box) either on the arc or any sides, that the arc setback gets distorted.

Thanks. Yes the chief architect tutorials and chieftalk discussions are quite helpful. As many features are shared.

Setback requirements for my property are 20’ front and back and 5’ on either side. Following instructions, I was able to do the concentric setback equal all around but I am not able to figure out how to do different setbacks on sides. I tried to break line and manually shift the side lines to create 5’ setback on either side . Then I stretched the lines to join them back but the result is not very accurate. I am a new user and using home designer-pro. I would appreciate any help. Thanks.
