Planimetric Surveying [Fast and Simple]

Introducing Virtual Surveyor’s ability to copy, move, rotate, and edit drawn items to drastically improve the speed and efficiency of your planimetric surveying workflow. You eliminate the redundancy of redrawing items since you can use the functionality of our app to create layers, draw, duplicate, and finalize your planimetric survey to help save a massive amount of time, and get all the work done in one app, before exporting to CAD.

In this video, we’ll cover the following planimetric drawing functionalities:

1. Drawing Parking Stripes – 0:24
Draw a parking stripe with three clicks, then easily duplicate the stripes to cover entire parking lots or roadways, then simply rotate or change the size and length of the shape to fit on multiple different line lengths, shapes, and sizes.

2. Drawing and Duplicating Drainages – 3:21
You can create more complex drawings over a drainage system using a clever rectangular (or circular) drawing tool, offset the drawing as a duplicate item, then duplicate multiple line drawings at once and quickly move and rotate them to fit entire drainages, all without needing to redraw any lines.

3. Drawing and Duplicating Parking Lines – 4:57
Create parking line drawings and compound them for an efficient way of dramatically reducing the time it takes to draw out parking lots.

4. Drawing and Duplicating Parking Islands – 6:43
Parking islands often come in similar shapes, which you can use to your advantage to draw their shapes, then copy, move, rotate, split, and quickly fit them across your site’s entire parking lot in minutes.

5. Tracing the Footprint of a Building – 8:38
We have a different approach for tracing the footprint of a building that creates straight, parallel, and clean line edges every time. Simply use a diagonal draw method to create a rectangle, add vertices to the boundary item, then move the line edges between the vertices into place for a quick and very accurate representation of a building’s footprint.
