Create a Building

The site is now the active area in the Plant Layout product.

3. Click the drop down arrow in the Type field and select Wall as the boundary Type. . For Mode, select the Point-to-Point button .
4. Set the temporary grid to 10 ft.
5. Click several points inside the plant site to create a closed, non-rectangular polygon. 

When you click the first point, a cross marks the spot. To close the polygon, select the cross.
6. Now you will define the area for the building. Click the Area button tbarea.gif (586 bytes). The Area Creation dialog box displays.
7. Select the Bounded Inside dbareacreationinbound.gif (396 bytes) button in the Create field.  Click the drop down arrow in the Type field and select Building as the area Type.
8. Click anywhere inside the wall you just created. This defines the site for your building and the "footprint".
9. To see the building and walls in the specification tree, click on the plus sign (+) next to the site name.
