Parcel objects in AutoCAD Civil 3D are typically used to represent real estate parcels, such as lots in a subdivision.
Parcel objects can also represent other features with closed boundaries, such as bodies of water and soil regions.
Topics in this section
- Parcel Components
A parcel boundary is a closed polygon. The points where line segments join are called nodes. There are two segment types: line and curve.
- Parcel Collections
Parcels are contained in a parcels collection, which in turn is contained in a site.
- Site Parcels
Associated with every site is a site parcel. The site parcel boundary is the outermost extent of a site, containing all alignments, gradings, and parcels. Objects within a site parcel do not have to touch.
- Parcel Styles
Use styles to control the appearance of parcels, their labels, and their tables.
- Parcel Settings
Use Parcel settings to specify default styles and other default properties for new parcels.
- Parcel Properties
Use Parcel properties to view or edit details of existing parcels.
