Steps to create a site plan
- From your site plans list, click the "New Site Plan" button in the top right
- Choose how to start:
- Search for an address to load an aerial (satellite) view automatically
- Upload an image such as your own aerial photo or site image
- Start from a blank canvas without a background and add one later
- The site plan opens with your background loaded and the measuring tools ready to use
Tips
- Address Search is the fastest way to start when you have the property address
- Upload your own image when you have a drone photo or a clearer aerial than the satellite view
- You can rename a site plan at any time so it's easy to find later
