Add and remove access and physical exclusion boundaries to/from lots. Exclusions can be added one at a time so that options can be set separately for each exclusion or they can be grouped into one selection set so that options can be set the same for each exclusion.
ParkCAD interprets the user drawn lines on the Exclusion Boundary Layer/Levels when adding exclusions. There are two types of exclusion boundaries - physical and access:
Boundaries drawn on the Physical Exclusion Boundary Layer/Level designate building walls, curbs, etc. (lines you don’t want vehicles to drive across). Aisles or rows are created on the outside of the physical exclusion boundary using the Perimeter Layout selected in the Design Parameters -> Parking Standards dialog box.
Boundaries drawn on the Access Exclusion Boundary Layer/Level designate aisles, driveways, etc. (lines vehicles can drive across).
An exclusion boundary can be drawn with lines however arcs cannot be used in any part of an exclusion boundary. This tool also supports the following element types in AutoCAD and MicroStation:
AutoCAD: Polygons, closed polylines, or polylines and lines. See AutoCAD help for information on creating polygons and closed polylines.
MicroStation: Shapes, complex shapes and closed complex chains that only contain line segments. See MicroStation help for information on creating complex shapes/chains.
An access exclusion must be drawn on the Access Exclusion Boundary Layer/Level before it can be added to a Lot with this tool. See Properties -> Exclusion Boundary Layers/Levels.

The access exclusion in this example lot was added to the lot with Edit Exclusion. The Bordering End Islands option was used to create islands on the rows that were cut off by the access exclusion.
Lot with Access Exclusion added
A physical exclusion must be drawn on the Physical Exclusion Boundary Layer/Level before it can be added to a lot with this tool. See Properties -> Exclusion Boundary Layers/Levels.

These drawings illustrate the use of two different option combinations on the same base lot and physical exclusion boundary. The example on the left was created by adding the exclusion boundary with the Bordering End Island option only. The example on the right was created by adding the exclusion boundary with the
Generate Rows and
Bordering End Island options.

This tool is used to remove exclusions from lots. The user drawn exclusion boundary will be left in the drawing so that it may be edited with CAD tools.
Edit Exclusion - Remove Exclusion |

This tool is used to change the Options that govern the display of the Exclusion.
Click Edit Exclusion on the ParkCAD Edit flyout or ParkCAD Edit toolbar if it is not already the current editing tool.
In the drawing, select the physical exclusion(s) or access exclusion(s) that you want to edit.
In the Edit Exclusion dialog box, set Options as desired to preview the exclusion(s).
Click Apply.
Repeat steps 2 to 4 or right-click to end this tool.
