The Distance Zone Overlay is an [[Overlay]] which can be used for displaying zones around constructions. One example of such a zone could be a zone around a wind turbine that resembles the noise contour. The distance zone is always a circle situated around the affected construction(s). The radius of this circle can be adjusted in the [[Function_Values|function value tabel]].

There also is 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]]. An example use case for this overlay can be found on the [[Usecase Distance Overlay]] page.
The overlay can also be modified to count how many zones are overlapping each other. See below for more information on how to enable this "Count Hits instead of Distance" option. An example use case for this overlay can be found on the [[Usecase Distance Overlay]] page.

Adding and removing overlays is a generic process, however, certain overlays are dependent on other assets being present too, such as indicators, terrains, vacancy, images, etc. For more information please refer to the respective main articles for the specific overlays.

What the Distance Zone Overlay is

Distance Zone Overlay

The Distance Zone Overlay is an Overlay which can be used for displaying zones around constructions. One use case for this could be a zone around a wind turbine that resembles the noise contour. The distance zone is always a circle situated around the affected construction(s). The radius of this circle can be adjusted in the function value tabel in the DISTANCE ZONE (M) attribute. The overlay can also be modified to count how many zones are overlapping each other. See below for more information on how to enable this "Count Hits instead of Distance" option. An example use case for this overlay can be found on the Usecase Distance Overlay page.


Additional information displayed in hover panel

When clicking on a specific location in the map, the hover panel gives additional information of the distance from the clicked location to the object which has a distance zone. If the "Count Hits instead of Distance" option is enabled, the overlay show the number of overlapping zones on the clicked location.


Adding and removing the Distance Zone Overlay

Template:Editor ribbon

How to add the Distance Zone overlay:
  1. Select in the editor 'Geo Data' from the ribbon
  2. Select 'Overlays' from the ribbon bar
  3. Select the Distance Zone overlay from the drop down menu


How to remove the Distance Zone overlay:
  1. Select in the editor 'Geo Data' from the ribbon
  2. Select 'Overlays' from the ribbon bar
  3. Select the Distance Zone overlay from the list of active overlays on the left panel
  4. Select 'remove' from the bottom of the left panel
  5. Confirm the removal in the pop up confirmation message

Sometimes it can be convenient to duplicate an already existing overlay. To do so, follow the steps for removal, but select 'Duplicate' in stead of 'Remove'.

Modify the Distance Zone Overlay to "Count Hits instead of Distance"


How to Select the Count Hits instead of Distance option:
  1. Select in the editor 'GEO DATA' from the ribbon
  2. Select 'Overlays' from the ribbon bar
  3. Select the Distance Zone Overlay from the drop down menu on the bottom of the left panel
  4. Select the General tab in the right panel
  5. Check-mark the "Count Hits instead of Distance" option in the right panel
