Getting Started
The Regrid dataset is presented in Giraffe as a Vector Layer. Once you have purchased the data, the Layer will be available to you in the Layer Library. Add it to your Projects or Spaces the same way you add any other layers from the library!
Add the layer
Click “+ Data layer” in the layer palette.
The layer menu appears. Then, Search “Regrid”
Click the checkbox next to “Regrid National Parcels” or "Regrid Canada" depending on which dataset you have purchased.
The Regrid Layer appears in your layer palette.
Adjust the opacity of the layer using sliders
If you want parcels to appear on top of other data (like satellite, for instance), move the layer up in the tree. Data layers higher in the tree will display on top of data lower in the tree.
Reviewing Data
The Regrid layer is a vector dataset. You can query its information using the data table. The data table is a familiar spreadsheet-based view of your data. Rows are parcel records. Columns are data about the parcel.
To open the lens controls, Mouse over a layer, and click the Table icon.
The data table appears at the bottom center of your screen. The controls are identical to any other vector layer. Explore the UI in the Data Table Overview.
Select your Columns
The Regrid layer has 25 default columns shown (of the over 150 available). If you want to add more columns to your table view, click the column menu and add/remove what you need.
Style the Parcels
Use the data table style options to re-color the parcels based on your criteria. The default state is colored by the normalized zoning type, but you can re-style to whatever is most useful for you.
Searching for Parcels
Find parcels that meet your criteria using filters.
Filter on over 150+ fields including:

Save your Search Criteria
Click the save icon on the table to save any changes you’ve made (filters, sorting, or styling). The current state will remain the next time you open the project.
Actioning your results
The results of your filters display in the data table and on the map. As you pan the map, the results will update based on what is currently visible. Use sorting to change which parcel results appear closer to the top of the table.
Left-Hand Dock
Click any layer shape on the currently-Lensed layer with data table open
or
Click any row in the data table table
A panel appears in the right-hand dock that displays that shape’s information.
The currently-selected parcel will also be highlighted in blue.
Create Projects
The most common result of a search in Regrid is to create projects from the parcels that meet your development criteria. There are a few ways to create projects using the Regrid layer.
Right-Click Map
From Space: Right click on any parcel outline, then select "Create New Project"
From Project: Right click any parcel outline, then select "Set Project Boundary"
Create Project Button
Another option is to use the table selection to create a project. With one or more rows selected in the data table, click the create project button.
If one parcel is selected, that will be the project boundary.
If multiple touching parcels are selected, the project boundary will be the combined polygon of all parcels.
If multiple non-touching parcels are selected, giraffe will use the selection bounding box as the project boundary.
Bulk Create Projects
You can also create multiple projects at once from multiple selected rows in the table.
Choose the create multiple projects button.
Each selection in the table will become its own project.
