Design Parking Inside Perimeter

This command creates a parking lot layout inside a closed polyline. The program draws parking stalls along the perimeter and creates interior parking stalls. Before starting the command, create a closed polyline that has vertices for any locations along the perimeter where to skip creating stalls. For example, the part of the perimeter where the parking lot entrance is located should have vertices on either side of the entrance.

The command starts by selecting the parking perimeter. Then the dialog shows the selected perimeter. Pick on the perimeter segments for skipping parking stalls. In this example, the segments on the bottom-right and top-right are set for no parking stalls. Use the Create Parking Spaces Along Sides option to turn off all parking spaces around the perimeter and only create interior parking spaces.
The dialog has a Settings tab to set the dimensions of the parking stalls. The Min Stall Width and Max Stall Width set a range for the program to best fit the stalls along the perimeter. Set these widths to the same value to hold a fixed width. The Travel Width is the space between the rows of interior parking stalls. The Curb Radius is used for the fillet radius on interior corners. The Parking Line Layer and Parking Line Width are used for the parking stall lines. Using the Parking Line Width makes the lines show like paint stripes in the 3D Viewer command. When the parking stalls don't exactly fit a perimeter edge and there is left over space, the Remainder Parking Space setting chooses between leaving the space empty or making the curb corner larger to use up the space. The Draw Curb option draws a polyline around the perimeter with the interior corners and excluding the skip parking segments. The Draw Parking Area creates a closed polyline that makes the perimeter of the parking area. The Draw Islands option creates polylines for islands at the end of the parking space rows.
After the dialog, the program draws the parking lines and reports the number of parking stalls. The interior parking stalls are automatically created in the direction that makes the longest rows.
