INCLUSION EXCLUSION SEARCH
|
LandVision Help > Documentation > Inclusion Exclusion |
|
Inclusion Geometries allow the user to define a custom search area. Draw the Polygon, Circle, and/or Line, and run a search filter to that specific area. Think of the Polygon Inclusion as a custom defined submarket search area. The Circle Inclusion can be used, for example, to look for comps around a subject property within a 1 mile radius. And the Line Inclusion can be used to search for properties on a particular street such as looking for freeway-frontage property, or properties along a rail line.
Exclusion Geometries will exclude the areas drawn while running a search filter. For example, a user might want to exclude a certain neighborhood, or exclude a 5 mile radius market area.
Search by Polygon Inclusion/Exclusion
|
| 1) Click on the Inclusion Ribbon for an Inclusion Area. Click on the Exclusion Ribbon for an Exclusion Area. |
|
| 2) Select Add Polygon |
|
3) The mouse cursor will change to a cross-hair. Click once to begin the polygon drawing. Click again at each angle-point. Double-click to close out the polygon. |
| 4) The area drawn, the Inclusion Polygon, will display with the selected properties. |
|
| 5) The Search Filter will now only focus the search to this area (and any additional Inclusion areas if active). If no Search Filter criteria is selected then all parcels will display highlighted and shown in the Count (Count is shown at top-right). |
