Configure setback distances and adjacency rules from the project dashboard after creating your project. Each side of the site is labeled independently, and the map outline updates in real time as you adjust values.

​
Opening the Setbacks panel

Open the Setbacks panel from either entry point:
  • The setbacks button in the top toolbar
  • Clicking anywhere in the project information side panel

​
Simplifying complex parcels

County parcel geometry sometimes produces more sides than you need. Group adjacent sides together to reduce the number of distinct setback labels.

Using zoning-suggested setback values

When zoning data is available for your site, Parafin displays suggested zoning values for front, side, and rear setbacks. Apply them as-is or adjust using the slider or text field. The site footprint updates in real time.
Defining setbacks using suggested zoning values
Assign each labeled boundary to a front, rear, or side yard. Parafin applies the matching zoning setback value to each designated edge.
Assigning setback values to labeled site edges
Once all sides are assigned, Parafin applies the correct zoning setback distance to each edge automatically. For more on zoning data, see the Zoning Panel tutorial.
