The Convert Property Boundary to Shape feature in Landchecker lets you instantly convert a property boundary into an editable shape on the map. Instead of manually tracing complex property boundaries, the outline is generated automatically and can be customised to suit your needs.
This feature is particularly useful for builders, developers, architects, and planners who need precise property outlines.

Click CONVERT TO SHAPE. The property outline will instantly become an editable shape.
The shape will appear in your Tools Library in the left-hand side panel, automatically named after the property address.
