Search for land around sub-section of a line near substation
A more refined search tool typically used for DG style searches where an entire transmission line might only be useful within a certain distance of a substation.
Create search area polygon with 'Combo Buffer W Intersect' tool
This tool is not yet rolled out to all clients. Please reach out to us to get access if you need this tool and don't already have access.
- Pull up the project
- Go to the Parcels tab
- Click on See Actions button (top-right side of the Parcels section)
- Click Create Combo Buffer W Intersect under the task list
​
​
- Input desired Line buffers
- Line Buffer: How far away from Lines to search parcels (e.g. 500 ft, 0.25 mi, etc.)
​
​
- Click on the Triangle in the second section to expand the Intersection Buffer section
- Input desired Sub Buffer for Intersection
- Sub Buffer for Intersection: this should reflect how far away from the sub you're willing to search for land along the line. E.g. if you're looking for land within 1 mi of the line but only within 2 mile of the substation, then the form would be filled in as shown below.
The task will create a search area polygon in orange as shown below.
​
