Make a Permit Site Plan in Under 3 Minutes — 5 New PlotForge Features

PlotForge™ turns a property address into a permit-ready, to-scale site plan (plot plan) PDF in about two minutes — built for contractors who pull permits, not for guesswork. Pull live county GIS parcel data and aerial imagery right in the browser, drop in your structures, and export a clean, dimensioned drawing your building department will accept. Need CAD? Export to DXF, not just PDF. 0:00 Intro — address to site plan 0:16 Auto-place existing buildings 0:55 Lock structure 1:15 Editable text fields 1:31 Lock measurement 1:44 Corner-distance measuring tool 2:41 Export to PDF & DXF This video walks through the newest PlotForge features: Auto-place existing structures — PlotForge detects and drops the existing house/building onto the parcel automatically, no manual tracing Lock structure — pin any placed structure or feature so you can't accidentally grab and drag it off position Lock measurement — freeze a feature's dimensions while you reposition it, so dragging never resizes it Editable text fields — label every item you place on the canvas, fully editable Corner-distance measuring tool — as you drag a feature along a wall, a live readout shows its distance to the nearest corner for accurate setback placement Why contractors use PlotForge instead of a drafting service: Deterministic output — the drawing is computed from real GIS geometry, exact, not AI-generated or guessed Auto-setbacks to nearest property lines DXF + PDF + PNG export ~2 minutes vs. 6–24 hour turnaround from a drafting service Patent-pending technology Generate your first plan: https://siteplangenerator.com — PlotForge is a browser-based site plan generator / plot plan generator for permit-drawing contractors — foundation repair, egress windows, decks, fences, room additions, and remodels. If you draw site plans for permits, this replaces the draftsman. #SitePlan #SitePlanGenerator #PlotPlan #BuildingPermit #Contractor #PermitDrawing #ConstructionTech #GIS #SitePlanSoftware
