Creating a Boundary Parcel
The Create Parcel From Objects tool allows you to create parcels by choosing AutoCAD entities in your drawing or in an XRefed drawing. In a typical workflow, it’s common to encounter a boundary created by AutoCAD entities, such as polylines, lines, and arcs.
When you’re using AutoCAD geometry to create parcels, it’s important that the geometry be created carefully and meet certain requirements. The AutoCAD geometry must be lines, arcs, polylines, 3D polylines, or polygons. It can’t include blocks, ellipses, circles, or other entities. Civil 3D may allow you to pick objects with an elevation other than zero, but you’ll find you get better results if you flatten the objects so all objects have an elevation of zero. Sometimes ...
