Radial Parking Strip

A radial strip contains multiple parking spaces that follow a continuous radius curve (Radial Strip 1 up to 15 parking spaces, Radial Strip 2 up to 33). The number of spaces is determined by space width, strip angle, and sweep distance or extent of the bounding box. To show or hide text describing dimensions of the strip and spaces, and total number of spaces, right-click the shape.

When you drop the shape, Visio prompts for the space width, space length, and curve radius to apply to the strip. To set width, length, or curve radius at any other time, right-click the shape, then choose Set Space Properties. For Radial Strip 1, Spaces Inside/Outside creates spaces that are on the inside or outside of the strip’s curve radius. To create the spanning angle for the parking strip within the site, drag the control handle [image].

Note: Site Planning shapes are designed to work with an engineering scale. Base your drawing on a template, or set a custom scale using the File > Page Setup command.


Single Parking Space

Use a single parking space shape for spaces that are wider or narrower than others in the lot (disabled, motorcycle, or special purpose spaces). To show or hide dimension text for the space, right-click the shape.

When you drop the shape, Visio prompts for the width, length, and angle to apply to the space. To set width, length, or angle at any other time, right-click the shape, then choose Set Space Properties. To create a straight, non-angled parking space, set Space Angle to 90 degrees.

Note: Site Planning shapes are designed to work with an engineering scale. Base your drawing on a template, or set a custom scale using the File > Page Setup command.


Parking Site Accessory

To resize proportionally, drag a corner selection handle. To change length or depth, drag a side selection handle. Position the Disabled Sign on parking spaces and accessways. To add text, select the shape, then type. To reposition text, drag the control handle [image].

Linear Parking StripLinear Parking Strip

Contains multiple parking spaces (Parking Strip 1 up to 15 spaces, Parking Strip 2 up to 30). The number of spaces is determined by the space width, angle, and extent of bounding box. To fit the approximate space for parking within the site, drag the width. To show or hide text describing dimensions of the strip and spaces, and total number of spaces, right-click the shape.

When you drop the shape, Visio prompts for the width, length, and angle to apply to all of the spaces. To set strip size and angle at any other time, right-click the shape, then choose Set Space Properties. To create straight (non-angled) parking spaces, set Space Angle to 90 degrees. Use the Tightly Enclose option to exactly fit spaces in the shape's alignment box.

Note: Site Planning shapes are designed to work with an engineering scale. Base your drawing on a template, or set a custom scale using the File > Page Setup command.


Single Parking Stall/Space

Use a single parking stall/space shape for stalls/spaces that are wider or narrower than others in the lot (disabled, motorcycle, or special purpose stalls/spaces). To show or hide dimension text for the stall/space, right-click the shape.

When you drop the shape, Visio prompts for the width, length, and angle to apply to the stall/space. To set width, length, or angle at any other time, right-click the shape, then choose Set Stall/Space Properties. To create a straight, non-angled parking stall, set Stall/Space Angle to 90 degrees.

Note: Site Planning shapes are designed to work with an engineering scale. Base your drawing on a template, or set a custom scale using the File > Page Setup command.


Radial Parking Strip

A radial strip contains multiple parking stalls/spaces that follow a continuous radius curve (Radial Strip 1 up to 15 parking stalls/spaces, Radial Strip 2 up to 33). The number of stalls/spaces is determined by stall/space width, strip angle, and sweep distance or extent of the bounding box. To show or hide text describing dimensions of the strip and stalls/spaces, and total number of stalls/spaces, right-click the shape.

When you drop the shape, Visio prompts for the stall/space width, stall/space length, and curve radius to apply to the strip. To set width, length, or curve radius at any other time, right-click the shape, then choose Set Stall/Space Properties. For Radial Strip 1, Stalls/Spaces Inside/Outside creates stalls/spaces that are on the inside or outside of the strip’s curve radius. To create the spanning angle for the parking strip within the site, drag the control handle [image].

Parking Lane

Represents a parking strip or lane along a street, such as a loading zone outside a building.

To make a shorter or longer lane, drag the width. To make a thinner or wider lane, drag the height. Connect the shape to other shapes by gluing its connection points [image] to connection points or endpoints on the other shapes. Use the connection points to attach other lines and create street outlines.

Note: Site Planning shapes are designed to work with an engineering scale. Base your drawing on a template, or set a custom scale using the File > Page Setup command.

Road/Curb/Driveway Curve

Represents curves associated with roads, curbs, driveways, or intersections. Connect the shape to other shapes by gluing its connection points [image] to connection points or endpoints on the other shapes. Use the connection points to attach other lines and create road outlines. To change the radius of curvature, right-click and choose Set Radius (except for Driveway beveled). For Driveway beveled: To change the bevel dimensions, right-click the shape and choose Set Bevel.
