Overview

The TractBuilder Quartering Tool enables you to create GIS features based on Public
Land Survey System (PLSS) aliquots. Instead of using an imaginary land grid that does
not match real world conditions, the TractBuilder Quartering Tool builds the resulting
feature from nearly any section basemap, including those available with the TractBuilder
Live online data service. Since the Quartering Tool can use your existing data, you are
unlikely to have any misalignment issues due to conflicting data sources.

Description Types
Going above and beyond, the TractBuilder Quartering Tool supports descriptions based on:

1. Common aliquots, such as North Half (N2) or Northwest Quarter (NW4) -
(view example)

2. Diagonal halves, such as Northeast Half (NE2) - (view example)

3. Specified distance from one side, such as the East 700 Feet (E700 Feet) - (view example)

4. Specified area on one side, such as the East 250 Acres (E250 Acres) - (view example)

5. Less statements that exclude areas based on any of the above call types, such as ALL LESS E250 Acres.  (view example)


Attribute Value Entry
TractBuilder understands from our experience that there is more to getting a feature into a mapping system than simply
getting the polygon outline created. That is why the Quartering Tool provides a simple and easy means for entering in
attribute information for the feature being created, completely eliminating the steps and time required to use another tool to
finish the task.  
(view example)

Simply click on the Attributes tab and supply the values prior to creating the feature. It's that easy.
