Zgrade is an AutoLISP script for AutoCAD designed to automate the drawing and labelling of building footprints in site plans. This utility functions as a specialised routine for land surveying and site planning workflows. It provides automated commands for generating geometric building footprints and applying standard labels within the AutoCAD environment. The toolset is structured to streamline repetitive drafting tasks, ensuring consistency in site plan documentation. By automating the creation of building boundaries and their associated data tags, the script allows users to focus on site analysis rather than manual line-work. It is a lightweight, script-based solution intended to enhance productivity for professionals working on cadastral mapping and large-scale site development projects.

The download is a 10 KB file containing .LSP files.

To implement this tool, load the LSP file directly into the AutoCAD command line using the APPLOAD command. Once active, the script provides specific commands to draw building perimeters and generate labels automatically. Users should ensure their layer states and text styles are pre-configured to match the script's output, as this will prevent formatting errors during execution. It is recommended to test the routine on a blank drawing template before applying it to complex master plans.

This script is highly effective for surveyors, civil engineers, and urban planners who frequently generate site plans for residential or commercial developments. It is particularly useful during the early stages of site analysis and feasibility studies where rapid footprint generation is required. Professionals often use this to standardize site documentation and improve efficiency when working with large datasets. It pairs well with standard surveying base maps and is an essential addition for any office managing high volumes of site-plan production and cadastral data.
