What the Distance Zone Overlay is

Distance Zone Overlay

The Distance Zone Overlay is an Overlay which is used for displaying distance zones around constructions, like industry. The distance zone is situated around the affected construction(s). The distance you want to set for a construction can be adjusted in the function value tabel. There also exists a "Count Hits instead of Distance" option to count the number of occurrences of the construction(s) in the zones. When added to your project, the distance zone overlay can be activated by clicking the corresponding icon in the overlay panel on the right site of the 3D World.

The Distance Zone Overlay can be found as the DISTANCE_ZONE Overlay in the editor.
