Use this tab to change a site parcel’s analysis type, its point of beginning, its segment process-order, or to view analysis results.
Analysis
- Inverse Analysis
-
Specifies that Inverse analysis type is used for the parcel.
Inverse analysis provides a sequential report of directions and distances, start and end coordinates, curve data for each parcel segment starting at a specified Point of Beginning (POB), and parcel area.
- Mapcheck Analysis
-
Specifies that Mapcheck analysis type is used for the parcel.
Mapcheck analysis provides the same information as Inverse analysis, except that all start and end coordinates for each parcel segment are computed relative to the coordinates of the POB and the previous segment, using the labeled precision of the parcel segment’s direction and distance/curve data. Therefore, error is introduced and accumulated so that the coordinates of the last segment will not equal that of the POB. This is termed ‘error of closure’. Mapcheck reports check the plotted drawing for omissions of segment labels to avoid errors that may be introduced into legal documents, such as deed descriptions.
- Enable Mapcheck Across Chord
-
Enables map check across chord. This setting is available only if Mapcheck Analysis is selected.
If mapcheck across chord is enabled, the Mapcheck traverse is calculated for curve segments using their chord length. Otherwise, it is calculated using their curve length.
Calculation Settings
- Point of Beginning
-
Specifies the site parcel boundary’s initial node (start point of its initial segment).
-
-
Selects a new point of beginning. Click the button and click a site parcel node in the drawing.
- Process Segment Order Counter Clockwise
-
If selected, segments are processed in counter-clockwise order.
