Draw Lot Setback

This command draws closed polylines inside lots to represent the building setback offsets. Before running this command, the lots need to be draw as closed polylines. The command starts with a dialog for entering the setback offsets and the layer for the new setback polylines.

There are two methods for the program to define the edges of the lot as front, side, back or corner. For the Use Reference Centerline method, the Front to CL Max Offset is used to determine which lot edges are frontage. The program will prompt to select CL reference polylines and lot edges that are within this offset from these CL polylines are considered frontage edges. For the By Pick method, the program prompts to select the setback type for each lot edge. Only the By Pick method has the option for the Corner Setback type.

The Front Setback is applied to the lot frontage edges. The Side Setback offset is applied to lot edges that have only one of their ends within the frontage offset. The Back Setback offset is applied to all other lot edges.
