When you're looking for a new project site, Transect has several tools to help you narrow down your search.
In this article, you'll learn about:
- Drawing Boundaries
- Parcel Filtering
- Quick Parcel Selecting
- Searching by address, coordinates, or parcel number
Drawing Boundaries
There are two options for drawing boundaries--the line tool and the polygon tool. Both tools allow you to create custom shapes to further refine your search. To start, click Draw Polygon or Draw Line and use your mouse to add vectors to the map. When you're finished, double-click to complete your drawing.
The polygon option is used to define the boundary of a project area. The line option is used for Linear Development Projects.
Parcel Filtering
The Parcel Filter highlights potential risks and issues with an area of interest to help you select the most optimal location for your project. You'll start by selecting one of the following options from the "Parcel Filters" toolbar:
Boundary
Proximity
Size
Owner
Buildable Area
Within Energy Communities
Quick Parcel Selecting
If you have already identified parcels, you can use the Quick Parcel Select tool to add them to a report. You can also combine multiple adjacent parcels with the same owner by using the Combine by Owner feature.
Searching by Address or Coordinates
Using the search bar in the upper right-hand corner of Transect, you can input an address, coordinates, or a parcel number to quickly locate your area of interest.
By Address:
Input an address into the search bar and hit Enter to be routed on the map.
By Coordinates:
Input coordinates into the search bar and hit Enter to be routed on the map.
When using GPS coordinates, ensure that latitude is listed first and that the longitude coordinate includes a (-).
By Parcel Number:
Input the APN number into the search bar and hit Enter to be routed on the map.
