Lot Editor Tutorial

The Lot Editor tool creates a smart lot configuration that lays the foundation for ARK to automatically generate floor plates.

You would be able to input the project lot line and edit every type of lot line, ARK would define each type of lot line so you could edit even the most complex irregular lots. The system would automatically define the type of lot line: side, rear, street lot line.

Along the side lot lines, you could insert the massing of the adjacent buildings (Height/width/length and distance from lot line) so that the surrounding massing would affect the ARK automated design offer and the project’s 3D massing model.

The Lot Editor Tool offers extensive capabilities for defining and customizing various lot configurations, including dimensions, shapes, lot types, and street

Splitting Lot Line:

Editing involves clicking on the lot line, clicking on the new vertices, and splitting the lot, moving the vertices and creating complex and/or irregular shapes.

• Angle Maintenance:
  • Red dotted lines indicate 90-degree angles between lot lines to maintain precision while creating different polygons and shapes.
• Main Panel Modification:
• Pen Tool for editing lot lines:
  • The pen tool allows changing the lot line type.
  • For Side Lot Lines: Users can add adjacent buildings with specific parameters such as height and distance from the lot line.
