I am having a problem with my area calcs in the Parcel creator. Who should I talk to? The guys in my office say to just do the calcs the old way. My thought is that we all just installed the C3D 2013 infrastructure design programs and we need to figure out how to use it fully. I simply need to find out who is the guru in this area so that I can get some training on the program.
I am doing a 2500 acre survey and dividing it up into four tracts due to inheritance issues. When I calculate the boundary of each tract and convert to a Parcel by object "polyline", the acreage is slightly larger than when I do a regular "key in the call" mapcheck for closure. I have the job set up in nad 83 state plane central texas. I can not find a scale factor in the drawing settings that I think should fix the issue.
Any help would be great,
Thanks,
Wes
I have received good training from Robert Gadbaw at teamblue22. Good luck.
The program has tons of potential but has a very steep learning curve.
Wes,
I'd love to help you out. This requires me to look at the drawing and collaborate with you on what you are attempting to d. Parcels is an area I tested for Autodesk prior to Civil 3D being release so I have extensive knowledge of parcels and other features of Civil 3D. <>
Kind regards,
Mike

Is the polyline 3D?
That might calculate area differently than a 2D polyline. (at least it should)
It's been a couple of years since I used C3D, but my feeling is that you have an error in the way your Parcel Label style is setup. If I recall correctly, you have to do some conversions or workarounds to get the areas to display properly. It may be a rounding issue on the conversion from square feet. What does an Autodesk forum search turn up?
