The diamond-shaped grip on a parcel segment can be moved in any direction and is not constrained to any other object.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Only along the segment
• D. Only within the parcel plane

Answer: (B)

Grips editing parcel geometry are not free-floating handles; they are tied to the geometry you’re modifying. The diamond-shaped grip on a parcel segment is a control that changes the segment while keeping the overall parcel structure intact. When you drag it, Civil 3D constrains your movement to the segment’s line and the surrounding geometry, so the segment length can be adjusted or the segment can be split, but you can’t move in an arbitrary direction or away from the connected endpoints and adjacent segments. Because of these constraints, the idea that the grip can be moved in any direction and isn’t constrained by other objects isn’t accurate.
