Setting a site boundary is the first step to getting metrics from your model like Site area, FAR, and Site coverage. There are 2 ways to set a site boundary - with Regrid (US sites only) or manually.

Saveto finish and import the site context including the site boundary(s) you selected. If you have adjacent sites you’d like to combine you can click theMerge adjacent site boundariescheckbox before clickingSave.
Creating a site boundary manually
If your site it outside of the US you’ll need to draw your site boundary manually. After importing your site context you’ll see a Draw site boundary button in the right sidebar. Click it and draw a closed loop sketch on your site to create the boundary.
While drawing a site boundary you will be able to specify the length and angle of the edges you are creating. Press Tab to toggle between the length and angle inputs.
