Site
ribbon
The Site ribbon is collection of interactive and
simplified tools capable of drawing intelligent layouts.
Site tabs have collection of tools listed below:
- Draw basic
- SITEOPS File Import
- Layout
- Grading
- Annotation
- Tables
Site tools also helps for Quick re-position buildings,
modify parking areas, and add driveways and sidewalks while evaluating the
results in real time.

Parking Lot
|
The Parking section of the Site Layout tab is a
collection of tools used to create and manage dynamically generated parking
layouts. An optimized parking layout is automatically generated using area and
side properties of a Parking Lot area. You can then customize the layout using
the other tools to suit design requirements.
- Parking Lot
- Creates a polygon area that automatically generates an optimized parking
layout using the properties of the area and sides.
- Parking
Direction - Allows the direction of parking aisles to be altered for
each parking area.
- Space
Point - Allows control of width for individual or a series of adjacent
parking spaces.
- Bay Point
- Allows control of parking and median settings for individual parking bays.
- Aisle Point
- Allows control of parking and median settings for individual parking bays.
- Island
Point - Allows control of placement and width of islands in the bays of
an automated parking area.
|
Parceling
|
Parcel design is automated with the use of a
Parceling Area and user drawn Driveways or by using a Parcel Block and a Parcel
Divider.
- Parceling
Area - Defines an area for parcel design.
- Parcel
Block - Creates a polygon area that acts like a parent parcel that can
be subdivided automatically using a Parcel Divider.
- Parcel
Divider - Creates a line that automatically divides a Parcel Block.
|
Pad
|
The Pad section of the Site Layout tab is a
collection of tools used to create and manage various types of parametric pads.
- Building Pad -
Creates a polygon area that represents a building pad. Buildings can be
customized using the properties of the area and sides.
- Other Pad -
Creates a polygon area that represents a generic pad with properties that can
be modified to represent many different pad types.
|
Pathway
|
The Pathway section of the Site Layout tab is a
collection of tools used to create and manage Driveways, Sidewalks and Driveway
connections.
- Driveway -
Creates a linear element with properties that control its material and grading
characteristics.
- Sidewalk -
Creates a linear element with properties that control its material and grading
characteristics.
|
Modify Phase
|
Allows you to change the design phase of
objects from conceptual to Preliminary or Final design.
|
Grading
Grading
group
Setting
|
Description
|
Limits of Disturbance
|
Creates a boundary for the proposed surface
grading.
|
Grading Solver
|
Launches a process where the conceptual layout
is converted into a 3D model and the grading is optimized for cost.
|
Problem View
|
Displays a graphical analysis of the optimized
site grading.
|
Draped Breakline
|
Creates a linear element that breaks the
existing TIN surface and sets interpolated elevations along the line.
|
Profiles
|
Used to generate a View that presents a desired
feature in profile thus enabling the Vertical Geometry tools to interact with
the chosen feature.
|
Constraints
|
- Constraint Area
- Creates a polygon area element with properties that control the slope
characteristics within the area.
- Constraint
Direction - Assigns a direction for slopes within the Constraint Area.
- Borrow Area -
Create an area that can be used for cut if the site grading optimization needs
to cut.
- Fill Area -
Create an area that can be used for fill if the site grading optimization needs
to fill.
