You cannot do a SIM search in Orbital Witness, however, our "Draw on Map" feature is instantaneous and replicates a SIM search! It's especially helpful when you have a geographically large complicated site, many leases in a building or want to identify all the titles surrounding a property (and who owns them or may have rights to light).

  • Click the blue "Add titles" button in the left-hand sidebar.

  • Select the "Draw on Map" option.

  • Click on the map to start drawing.

  • Double click to complete the shape. You can click and drag the shape boundary to adjust it.Please note you can draw an area up to 20 square km.

  • Either take a snapshot (top right camera icon) so you have a record of you search area, or ensure the 'Save the area as a sketch' tick box is selected to store your drawing in the sketches area.

  • "Add to group" to make it easier to download documents for all your titles.

  • Hit "Add titles" to import all the titles within your drawn area into your matter. Please note up to 1,500 titles can be added at once.

  • All of the titles contained with your drawn area, or intersecting the boundary, will be added. Now these titles are in your matter you can make them visible on the map, bulk download Official Copies or export a spreadsheet of title information.
