In the Tygron Platform, an area is comprised of a polygon, a name and a number of user-defined attributes. Areas can be used for many different purposes. For example, they can represent Water areas with a specific water area in Water Model calculations. Areas can also be used to measure the effect of planned actions by using TQL, for example when they represent protected Natura2000 areas.
Contrary to buildings, neighborhoods, or terrains, areas are not restricted by other items in a project. Areas are also allowed to overlap other areas; they can be situated anywhere in the project. This also means that they can be used for multiple purposes at the same time. Some areas may be used to represent water areas, while other areas are used to represent sewer areas.
It is possible to organize areas using Area Filters. An area belongs to a specific Area Filter when it contains the name of that file as an attribute.
Areas can be visualized using several overlays. The most simple one is the areas overlay, which allow users to select which areas to visualize. Another useful overlay type to visualize areas is the attribute overlay. This overlay can (optionally) visualize the areas that have a specific attribute.
