Stitching Site Plans

When stitching multiple plans within a single project, it's crucial to ensure alignment across all plans.

Here's a step-by-step guide to complete the process:

  1. Scaling the First Plan:

Before stitching additional plans, ensure that the initial plan is appropriately scaled. This sets the foundation for accurate alignment.

2. Verifying Scale Compatibility:

When incorporating a second plan, double-check its scale to match the first plan (Hold down the M key and move the cursor along a known length). Consistency in scale is vital for seamless integration.

3. Orientation Alignment:

If the site plans share the same orientation, using the 'Move' control suffices for alignment. For varying orientations, the 'Align to Two Points' feature may be more suitable, albeit requiring a few additional steps.

The selection between 'Move' and 'Align to Two Points' depends on the specific requirements of your project.

4. Move:

Procedure

    • Activate the Move tool.
    • Click on the initial location on the site plan you want to move. This is likely to be a 'Match Line'.
    • Do a second click on the desired destination site plan ('Match Line') where you want to plan to move to.

5. Align to Two Points:

Procedure:

    • Select the Align to Two Points tool.
    • Click on the initial location on the site plan you want to move. This is likely to be the one end of a 'Match Line'.
    • Do a second click on the desired destination site plan (the end of a 'Match Line') where you want to plans to line up.
    • Repeat the process for a second location (the other end of a 'Match Line'), optimising alignment.
