View source for How to make a Grid Overlay of residences

For some use-cases, it may be useful to have a Grid Overlay of locations of residences. Residences may sometimes be treated with additional care or consideration, or may have additional restrictions or protections applied to them. As such, having a dynamically calculated overview of their locations can be very relevant. Such a [[Grid Overlay]] can be created by testing which locations have a defined size for residences.

* Although there are also "senior housing" and "student housing" categories of residences available, those are rarely used and as such not includes in the instructions. To add them, add 2 more [[Average Overlay]]s with SENIOR_UNIT_SIZE_M2 and STUDENT_UNIT_SIZE_M2 respectively, add then to inputs D and E of the [[Combo Overlay]], and expand the formula to include the D and E parameters: GT(ADD(A,B,C,D,E),0)
