This tab provides the attributes, that are mostly related to areas, which are used when calculating this overlay. Also the Configuration Wizard button is present in the middle of the right panel.
	Please press the Configuration Wizard button and a new panel will open. This panel contains all steps that can be taken to configure the settings for the rainfall overlay calculation. For example, the amount of rain that falls over a certain period of time and settings for the water system like culverts, weirs and groundwater. Every step of the wizard will lead you through the settings of the overlay and at the end, the new overlay will be calculated and display the results of your settings in the 3D Visualization.

	Edit information in the right panel. In the right panel, you see 3 tabs, the General tab, the Legend tab and the Attributes tab. Every overlay has at least these tabs, some also have a Keys tab. The General tab contains general information and gives you the option to change some settings. For example, the grid size that is being used to make calculations. The smaller the grid size, the more accurate the calculations are that are made. ~~Not~~ that a smaller grid size will extend the calculation time of the project as well. For now, we are going to change the grid size from 10 to 5 meters per grid cell.		Edit information in the right panel.

	Press ~~send~~ and the new overlay will be calculated immediately. For example, the contours around the objects in the 3D Visualization will be less broad and therefore the height of the objects is shown more precise.

	Another feature that can be edited in the right panel is to mark an overlay as a child overlay. This means you can link the overlay to another overlay, the parent overlay, in order to make bundles of overlays that are related to each other. The [[navigation panel]] in the [[Viewer ]]interface can only display so many overlays so if you want to implement quite a few overlays the option to make use of parent and child overlays is highly recommended.
