Zones in comparison to Areas, Neighborhoods and Plots

Zones in the Tygron Platform are spatial areas that can restrict, and provide feedback on, actions performed by stakeholders. Each zone is assigned to a stakeholder; that stakeholder is the permitter.

Zones can be grouped together to form a hierarchical zoning plan, each with specific requirements to which a new action must conform.

If, during a session, an action does not conform to the zoning plan, a permission popup will appear, indicating a conflict with the zoning plan. In order to resolve the conflict with the zoning plan, either:

the action has to be adjusted.
the zoning plan is changed by the permitter.
the action has to be reverted.

Zones can determine if an action create a conflict with the current zoning plan in two ways:

A set of allowed Function Categories, used to verify planned Buildings.
An excel file. The excel file can request TQL statements to calculate a permittance score, determining whether a certain action can be permitted or not. Additionally, it can provide information on why that action was not permitted.

The project can also be configured to disable the permission popup, which will result in the following:

Actions will not be restricted by the zoning plan.
Potential conflicts with the zoning plan(s) are no longer calculated and reported to the stakeholders.

However, zones can still be used in other calculated if needed, with feedback shown in custom-made panels.

An example of a Stakeholder placing a new Sports Center in a Zone that does not allow it:

A zone reports a conflict with the planned building, because its Function Category is not allowed.
Denying the action results in a message to revert the action.
The permitter decides to adjust the zoning plan, using the Zoning permit panel.
The action now is in accordance with the zoning plan.

-====General====
-Zones have a number of general properties. {{clear|right}}
-=====Name=====
+{{article end
-[[File:zoning-right-name.jpg|framed|right|The field for the "Name".]]
+|howtos=
-The "Name" field is where the name of a zone can be changed. The name of a zone can be seen in the zoning plan adjustment panel of the [[Zoning (Overlay)|Zoning overlay]]. By entering a new name in the "Name" field, the zone can be given a more identifying name.{{clear|right}}
+* [[How to add and remove a Zone]]
+* [[How to edit Zone properties]]
-=====Color=====
+|seealso=
-[[File:zoning-right-color.jpg|framed|right|The selector for the "Color".]]
+* [[Zoning permit panel]]
-The color selector allows the zone color to be edited. The zone color can be seen in the zoning [[overlay]]. The zone color is used for assigning different colors to different zones, to help users to distinguish the defined zones. By selecting the "Color" field, a new panel opens, in which a new identification color for the highlighted zone can be selected.{{clear|right}}
+}}
-=====Permitter=====
-[[File:zoning-right-permitter.jpg|framed|right|The field for the "Permitter".]]
-The permitter dropdown menu allows the granting or denial of permissions to be the responsibility of a specific [[stakeholder]]. When an action is taken in the zone, the action will be tested against the configuration of this zone, and the final decision will be made by this stakeholder. This can be changed by selecting a different stakeholder.{{clear|right}}
-=====Excel=====
-[[File:zoning-right-excel.jpg|framed|right|The display field and button for the Excel file.]]
-The excel file can request TQL statements to calculate a permittance score, determining whether a certain action can be permitted or not. Additionally, it can provide information on why that action was not permitted. To change or update this calculation, select "Select Excelsheet" to open the [[Excel Manager]].{{clear|right}}
-=====Allowed zoning function types=====
-[[File:zoning-right-functions.jpg|framed|right|The list of function categories that can be allowed.]]
-Adding an allowed function category to a zone enables stakeholders to plan buildings of that category function inside the zone. To add a function category to a zone, check the checkbox next to the desired category. To disallow a function category, make sure the checkbox next to the desired category is unchecked.{{clear|right}}
-=====Draw Area=====
-[[File:zoning-right-area.jpg|framed|right|The button to draw the zone.]]
-The "Draw Area" button is used to assign an area in the 3D world to a specific zone. The assigned area can be seen on the zoning [[overlay]]. To assign an area in the 3D world to a zone, select the "Draw Area" button. This will open the [[brush|brush panel]] to assign an area to the selected zone.{{clear|right}}
-====Attributes====
-{{main|Attribute}}
-Zones can be assigned (user-defined) attributes. Some attributes are automatically created or modified when certain properties of the zone are changed.
