Property lines

[Autodesk Revit]

I'm trying to create property lines using the data from the topo map, however, I'm getting a very strange result (see attached). What am I doing wrong?

Here is the topo data:
125.60' N 53d 55' 00" W
70.91' N 36d 03' 30" E
120.00' N 62d 59' 00" W
90.20' 9d 03' 59" R=570.00'

I don't have currently access to revit to try, but the number of the last entry seems weird. The fourth set of numbers seems to be missing North/South and East/West. and North, in your image is at the bottom of the page.

Property line is going from starting point to NW, then to NE and then back to NW (so far it seems just like you have drawn, a line that continuously goes north) Then depending on the last segment it may have been drawn correctly, based on the info.

On a side note, if you are getting these coordinates from an Engineer be aware that in my experience, often, and sadly I mean often, the coordinates from them are incorrect. Sometimes N should be S and sometimes E needs to be W....

Hope this helps.

I wonder if Autodesk Revit is a real user or the name reflects a bug in AUGI. The join date of 1969 looks suspicious. I also recall that a few weeks ago AUGI was misbehaving; it used to unexpectedly change my identity to Autodesk Revit. I passed a message to webmasters but never heard back. :confused:

it is a bug, and we are working on it. it seems that "Guest" and "Autodesk Revit" are becoming synonymous....

...On a side note, if you are getting these coordinates from an Engineer be aware that in my experience, often, and sadly I mean often, the coordinates from them are incorrect. Sometimes N should be S and sometimes E needs to be W... Seen this too, particularly on property documents. Looks like the second line might want to be South instead of North and the last indicates a Radius but lacks bearing info.

Take a look at this tutorial - It should answer all of your questions.
