How to:
Draw a Rectangle or Polygon
Click “Open flow builder”
Select "Quick Transform" and then select "Parking Lots". Click "add flow"
Click “edit defaults” to set the starting values
Edit the settings and outputs in Properties
Settings
Set the length and width of the bays
Set the width of special use bays (ie handicap spaces)
Adjust the bay angle
Set the width of the roads between bays
Set a max run (the length of bays before a road is inserted)
 |  |
Determine if islands should be included by setting an interval (ie every 10 bays) and set their width
Island interrupt runs of bays at an interval or count of bays
Add Edge islands and set their radius
Edge islands cap the ends of inner runs of bays
Add center islands and set their width
Center islands go between perpendicular facing bays in inner runs
Toggle open center islands
For drainage or pedestrian access
 | 
|
Toggle open corners
Toggle Symmetry
Toggle boundary road
Choose Reference Edge
Change the direction the inner lanes generate.
IE - selecting a different reference edge will rotate the inner bays to align with the selected edge.

Add an exclusion zone
Exclusion zones remove parking bays from within the defined boundary and generates spaces along its boundary
Click to place points. Double click to end the command
Delete an exclusion zone by clicking the red X
Add as many exclusion zones as you wish
Add a no-parking zone
No parking zones remove parking bays from within the defined boundary
Unlike exclusion zones, No parking zones do not add bays around the edge of the zone
Delete by clicking the red X
Add as many as you wish
Add a special use zone
Special Use zones apply the special use bay width property to an area, and applies a hatch
Delete a zone by clicking the red X
Add as many zones as you wish
Add a special lane
Special lanes are lines that generate rows of bays on either side
Advanced Edit Mode
Use shift + a to enter detail edit mode
Red triangle handles: select reference edge
Green/Red Circles: Generate bays on this edge.
Click the green checkmarks to turn off bays along that edge
Click the Red Circle to add the bays back
Center Node Handle (on reference edge) : Move bay generation location
Output
The output is a geometry with white parking bay lines. The parkingBayCount property is also applied.
