Exports a per-lot summary: area (SF & acres), frontage, depth, width at the setback, and live pad elevation, as a natural-sorted CSV (always) plus an optional AutoCAD table placed in the drawing.

What it computes, per lot

  • Area: shoelace over the boundary, arcs taken by chord, reported in SF and acres.
  • Frontage: length of the designated front edge, true arc length on curved fronts.
  • Depth: perpendicular from the front-edge line to the back-edge midpoint.
  • Width @ BSL: lot width at the front-setback depth; blank when the lot is shallower than the setback.
  • Pad Elev: live elevation of the lot's VDCGRADELOTS pad FL, matched by name; blank when ungraded.
  • Front edge resolves VDCLOTFRONT stamp → ROW auto-detect → manual pick; rows natural-sorted.

Outputs & settings

  • CSV (always): <drawing>-LotSummary.csv in the drawing's VDC Reports folder (folder overridable; Documents if unsaved).
  • AutoCAD table (optional): placed at a picked point using the drawing's current table style.
  • Table text sized from the plotted height through the annotation scale, customize the style, not the tool.
  • Settings env var VDC_LOTTABLE_SETTINGS, default %APPDATA%\VDC\LotTable\settings.json.
  • Set the front-setback depth to match the value VDCLOTQC checks against.

When to use it

  • Producing a lot data table for the plat or a submittal exhibit.

How to run it

  1. Designate front edges (VDCLOTFRONT) for accurate frontage/depth/width.
  2. Run VDCLOTTABLE and select the lots.
  3. Choose CSV only or CSV plus an AutoCAD table, and place the table.

Watch out for

  • Pad elevation comes from Auto-Grade Lots stamps - ungraded lots show blank pads.
