Choose whether Site Scanner should analyze the confirmed parcel boundary or a wider area that you may actually service.
What the setting does
When Site Scanner analyzes a property, it needs to determine where the site ends.
A parcel boundary and the area you actually maintain are not always the same.
đĄ For example, a lawn may continue past the property line into a grass strip or toward the curb.
The Property boundaries setting gives you two options:
Option | What it does |
Use the estimated service area from AI | Allows the AI to extend the analyzed area beyond the property boundary to include areas such as easements, municipal sidewalks, grass strips, and nearby lawn |
Use the official property boundaries | Restricts the AI analysis to the confirmed parcel boundary |
With official boundaries, Duranta analyzes only inside the confirmed property boundary and excludes nearby easements or municipal areas.
Neither option is better in every situation.
Use official property boundaries when you are quoting strictly to the parcel and do not want nearby municipal land included in your measurements.
Use estimated service area from AI when the work you maintain extends beyond the parcel line and you want the measurements to reflect that larger service area.
Set the default for a project
You choose the default property boundary setting when you create a Site Scanner project.
Every property in that project starts with the same setting.
Open Site Scanner.
Upload your CSV of property addresses.
Find Property boundaries on the project setup screen.
Choose:
Use the estimated service area from AI
Use the official property boundaries
Finish setting up the project and select Analyze.
New projects default to Use the estimated service area from AI.
Change the setting for one site
You can override the project default for an individual property after the project has been analyzed.
Open the site from your Site Scanner project.
Select the map settings button with the stacked-layers icon.
Under Property boundaries, choose the option you want.
The button usually shows the imagery currently in use, such as EagleView â March 2026.
If no imagery has been resolved yet, it may show Imagery & AI Settings.
Changing the setting affects only that site. Other properties in the project keep the project default.
Review the other AI settings
The same menu also includes the other settings that affect the analysis:
Setting | What it controls |
Satellite imagery | The aerial imagery capture used by the AI |
AI model | The model used to analyze the property |
Property boundaries | Whether the analysis uses the estimated service area or official parcel boundary |
Available imagery may include satellite imagery captures with Standard, HD, or Super HD quality, along with Google Maps or Azure Maps as fallbacks.
The imagery used for the current AI analysis is marked Used by AI.
Re-run the analysis after a change
Changing the property boundary setting does not immediately change the existing measurements.
Your current results stay in place until you re-run the AI analysis.
When the selected settings are different from the last analysis, a re-run button appears above the settings menu:
Button | When it appears |
Imagery changed â re-run AI | You selected different imagery |
AI settings changed â re-run AI | You changed the AI model or property boundaries |
Select the button to analyze the property again using the updated settings.
If the current analysis already matches your selected settings, the re-run button does not appear. It is also hidden while the property is actively being analyzed.
đĄ If Duranta cannot start the new analysis, you may see:
We couldn't start the AI analysis. Please try again.
Existing projects and previous settings
Existing projects are unaffected. Projects created before this setting was introduced continue using their previous behavior.
This setting replaces the older automatic parcel prediction option.
Choosing Use the official property boundaries is equivalent to turning the old automatic parcel prediction setting off.
The same imagery, AI model, and property boundary settings are also available on individual properties outside Site Scanner.
