In this video, we're going to talk about sites.

00:08

We're going to actually create a new site and we're going to discuss how to migrate feature lines to that site or copy them to a new site.

00:17

This is important because you may have some feature lines that you want to have interacted with each other,

00:23

but you don't want to place them on an existing site,

00:25

because you don't want those feature lines to interact with the objects you already have in an existing site.

00:31

So we're going to go ahead and create that new site to migrate our feature lines to.

00:36

Currently in our drawing, we only have one feature line, but that's okay,

00:39

we're going to go ahead and create this new site by going to Sites and right clicking and selecting New.

00:44

So inside of that, we can choose a name for this site,

00:48

we're actually just going to call it Migrate because afterwards we're going to go ahead and get rid of it.

00:54

So we're just dealing this for migrating and copying.

00:57

So we're going to go to 3D geometry, it just gives us information on how we're going to display the information on that site.

01:03

And this is the numbering information on how those parcels are going to be numbered inside of our site.

01:09

So we're going to go ahead and hit "Apply" and hit "OK".

01:12

We now have a site called Migrate.

01:15

So what we can do now is we can select our feature line and we can modify and move it to that site,

01:20

if we wanted to just up and move the site out of the none site and move it into our Migrate site.

01:26

Now if you want to keep that feature line inside of the none site and not have it migrated to our Migrate site,

01:33

and you just want to create a copy of it, what you can also do is you can go to this Modify and you can go to copy site.

01:39

So you can go copy to site and then you can dropdown and select Migrate and then you can select "OK".

01:45

So now what we effectively have is inside of feature lines, we have this feature line here,

01:50

and if I right click and select, it will have that feature line selected for me.

01:57

Or if I go to the Migrate site and I go to my Feature Lines and I go to Feature line (2) and I select it, it will also select that feature line.

02:08

And so what we've effectively do is we have two feature lines occupying the same space not interacting with each other,

02:15

but they are in different locations.

02:18

Now we can edit this feature line, it won't affect that feature line.

02:21

Or we can edit this feature line and it won't affect the feature line inside of our Migrate site.

02:28

Now what we're going to go ahead and do is we're just going to take this Migrate site, we are going to delete it.

02:35

So we're going to select and erase.

02:38

And then we're going to go ahead and go to Migrate and we're going to delete it and say "Yes".
