My plot measures 32 by 31, so one side is shorter. Is a corner cut?
If the shortfall is on the South-West side, the South-West is cut. Simply build on an exact 31 x 31 square.

Can the mountain scenery be used when the SW or SSW is cut or extended?
Yes. When it is cut, the mountain scenery is used to extend it.
Can we join all the corners of an irregular plot into a square and take its diagonals as the centre?
No. When part of the plot is cut, the true centre shifts, yet the square drawn through the corners stays the same, so its diagonals give a wrong centre. Diagonals were used in the earlier zoning class only because that map was regular, with the open parking area at the side.
How do we count the length to width ratio of an L-shaped plot, for example 20 x 20 feet at the back and 10 x 30 feet in front?
An L-shaped plot is inauspicious in the first place. There is no special formula for its ratio; estimate it from its arms. The cut portion is a full loss, and how harmful it is depends on which corner is cut, which is best judged with the teacher case by case.
How do we mark a flat whose South-West and North-East corners are cut?
Mark it the usual way: find the centre and north, place the chakra on the centre and mark the devtas. To divide the bands, take every corner of the shape, draw lines from the centre to each, apply the ratios and join the points; a similar shape forms inside. The more irregular the shape, the more complicated the work, and software makes it easier.
If a square foundation is laid inside a triangular plot and the house is built on it, can it give good results?
Yes, it can. The methods for converting any irregular shape into a regular one are taught in the treatment classes.
If the plinth is a perfect right angle but balconies and projections stick out on the upper floors, is the shape irregular?
No, it is regular. Balconies are like the hair on a head; spreading hair does not change the shape of the body. The shape is the one in which the plinth beam and foundation were laid, because the underground current runs in that form.
