Extending default Parcel Fabric Types

[DaveChamberlin]

Is it possible to add another type to the parcel fabric, other than what comes out of the box?

We are looking to add "Preliminary Parcels" to our list.  We can add the domains we want, as well as the feature to the fabric, but the new type does not show when we bring it in to edit.  Does the LGIM model dictate what is brought into an edit session?

I think you might have to create a feature template for your new type.

I have tried to do this before with the LGIM and there is no way to add other parcel types to the tree that appears in your Table of Contents. 

I have had some moderate success with adding new domains to a basic parcel fabric and utilizing custom definition queries to make a customized display for my data that does not nicely fit into the LGIM. For example, I maintain parcels that represent municipal utility districts and there's no built-in layer definition for that in the LGIM. So the MUDs go into my customized basic fabric that is stacked above my LGIM with my subdivisions and tax parcels in the Table of Contents.
