Discover the process of renumbering parcels in a detailed manner, with the focus on maintaining consistency and order in the labeling method. Learn important steps, including selecting the correct area label, using the renumber rename option, specifying the site to work with, and setting the numbering path.
Key Insights
- The article explains how to renumber parcels by first selecting an area label for any parcel inside the drawing. This can be found in the modify section of the contextual ribbon bar.
- It is important to specify the correct site to work with when renumbering parcels. In this case, all the parcels in the current drawing are in the "development parcel" site.
- Setting the path for numbering is a crucial step. The software renumbers the parcels as it passes through the drawn line, from left to right or vice versa, depending on the chosen path.

In this video, we're going to talk about renumbering parcels. If we navigate over to the parcels that we've created in this drawing so far, what you'll notice is that we don't have a defined orientation or order to how our parcels are being labeled.
We have property 3, property 10, property 9, we got property 27 and 28, and then we have property 2. Generally, when you're laying out parcels, you want to have them go in some sort of organized manner. So what I'm going to go ahead and do is I'm going to teach us how to go ahead and renumber these parcels. So in order to renumber a parcel, what you have to do first is you have to select an area label for any parcel inside the drawing.
So I'm going to go ahead and start by selecting this property 3 parcel area label. And then when I do that, what you're going to notice in the contextual ribbon bar is that up in the modify section, you'll have an option for renumber rename. If I select renumber rename, you'll have a renumber rename window that pops up.
And inside of here, you have the options for what site you're working with, if you're going to renumber, or if you're going to rename. So because we're using parcel numbers, I'm going to do a renumber. But if you had names and you wanted to rename your parcels, you could choose rename.
And then you could specify the name based on the parcel names or by using a template in the parcel style. I'm going to go ahead and choose renumber. And then I'm going to have a starting number of one and an increment value of one.

If you wanted to have a different increment value, you could fill that in here. And then you have the option of use name template and parcel style. So I'm going to go ahead and leave that unchecked.
The one important thing that you have to make sure you do is that you have to select the site that you want to work with. So because of all the parcels that we have in the current drawing being in the development parcel, you have to drop down and select development parcel. I have other sites because of the way that I was showing you how to move parcels between sites.
So I have site one, site two, and then I have my survey site. But you want to make sure that you are going to be making a renumbering modification to any parcels inside of the development site. So I'm going to go ahead and click OK.
And Civil 3D is going to prompt me to specify a start point. So what I'm going to go ahead and do is I have to specify where I want parcel one to be. I'm going to go ahead and go with parcel one being this upper left corner.
And then Civil 3D is going to ask me to specify an endpoint. So this is not the endpoint of my numbering scheme. It's just an endpoint of a segment where I'm directing Civil 3D how to go about pathing where the numbers come from.
So I'm going to go from one. If I draw this line in this draw direction from left to right, it's going to renumber the parcels from left to right as it passes through it. So I'm going to go from one to two to three to four to five to six to seven.
And so I can go ahead and click here. And then where I want to go to eight, I would pick the next portion of my segment. If I wanted to jump across the street and have eight, nine, ten, and so on, I could just pick a line over here and pick a line over here.
But I'm going to go ahead and come down here. So eight's going to start here. Then I'm going to come across to here.
Then I'm going to start a new numbering portion here. Come across. Come down.
Come back across. And then I'm going to go ahead and hit ENTER to end that. So what Civil 3D has done now is it's selected all of the parcels that I want to renumber.
So I can either continue onwards by clicking around on the screen, or I can hit ENTER to end and start the renumbering process. So I'm going to go ahead and hit ENTER. And so now if I go and I look at where my parcel three was originally, I'll now have property one, property two, all the way on to property seven.
And then the orientation that I chose was to go down. So the property below seven should be eight. I should navigate across here and I should see property 14.
So property 15 should start up up here, going across down to property 21, coming to property 22, navigating back across to property 28. So from here, we're going to go ahead and navigate back out so we can get our view back to the extent that we want to. I'm going to go ahead and save.
And then I'm going to meet you in the next video. And we're going to talk about defining parcel styles.
