Terrain Perimeter

[mcrump]

How do I input the length and angle in order to draw a boundary lines using surveyor's units?  Thanks for any input.

Scott has a video and so does CA.

Thanks!

I recommend that you use cad lines nested inside the terrain Perimeter

 

using the TP for the lines is too limiting

makes it difficult to place roads, sidewalks, neighbors buildings etc

 

plus, I don't like seeing the "ends of the universe" when taking camera views

I use Lew's method, too. Once I have the lot perimeter drawn correctly, I draw the setbacks, then save this cad work to the library. I then draw the terrain splines and save them to the Library as a special object. These may be dropped into the Terrain Perimeter, This had saved me a bunch of work on many occasions. Recently, I had to draw the neighbors lot to site some tall trees. This was done to see if the view was impaired by the trees. because I had followed the steps above, I was able to make the terrain adjustments rather quickly.

 

I lived for over 30 years in Florida where the terrain was flat, only recently had to learn other terrain tricks.

What I can't figure out is drawing the bearing in degrees, minutes and seconds.  It's got to be somewhere - I just can't find it.

Thank you! Getting old is a real beoch.
