In this exercise, you will use the feature line editing tools to modify parcel lot line geometry.
You will use two different methods to change the geometry of the two large parcels at the end of the cul-de-sac.
First, you will learn about the grips that are available on lot lines. You will use lot line grips with the feature line tools to change the geometry of a parcel.
Second, you will join two separate lot lines, and then remove a point of intersection from the combined lot line.
This exercise continues from Exercise 2: Swinging One End of a Parcel Lot Line.
Add a point of intersection to a parcel lot line
The Edit Geometry panel is displayed in the ribbon.
The back lot line now has a point of intersection at the point at which the parcels meet. With a PI in this location, you can edit the lot line on one of the parcels without affecting the other.
Grip edit a parcel lot line
Notice the grip on the lot line. This grip is available on attached lot lines, which are created with the slide angle, slide direction, and swing line precise sizing tools available on the Parcel Layout Tools toolbar. You can use this grip to slide the lot line along the lot line to which it is attached.
Notice the grips on the ends of the lot line. These grips are available on lot lines that were created either from other Autodesk Civil 3D objects or the fixed line and curve tools available on the Parcel Layout Tools toolbar. You can use these grips to change the endpoint location of a lot line.
Notice that the area of parcel 105 has changed. However, there is now an unnecessary lot line remaining to the North of the parcel. You will delete the unnecessary portion of that lot line in the following steps.
Trim an extraneous parcel lot line
Break a parcel lot line
Two lot lines are created, separated at the point you specified.
Join two parcel lot lines
The two lot lines are now a single entity.
Delete a point of intersection
