Abstract:
1. A method for creating faces in a computer assisted design and geographic information (CAD/GIS) system, comprising: defining a site map within the CAD/GIS system, where the site map is defined by at least one boundary and encloses a closed polygon; defining a boundary of the site map within the CAD/GIS system to be used as a reference boundary; defining a start point on the reference boundary within the CAD/GIS system; receiving, via user input, a definition of an attribute in the CAD/GIS system; automatically, without additional user input, creating at least one face with the CAD/GIS system within the site map, wherein the face is a closed polygon, wherein the face is created by creating at least one face boundary based on the start point and the attribute of the face defined within the CAD/GIS system, and wherein the face is created by rotating a line segment about the start point; and displaying the face in the CAD/GIS system on a display device.
