How to edit Zone properties
Selecting a zone in the left panel makes its properties adjustable in the right panel. Multiple kinds of properties exist for zones. It's possible to switch between the various types of properties by selecting the desired tab at the top of the right panel.
General
Zones have a number of general properties.
Name
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. Entering a new name helps uniquely identify the zone.
Color
The color selector allows the zone color to be edited. The zone color can be seen in the zoning overlay. Zone colors help users distinguish between different defined zones. By selecting the "Color" field, a new panel opens, in which a new identification color for the highlighted zone can be selected.
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.
Excel
The Excel file defines TQL statements used to calculate a permit score, determining whether a certain action is permitted. 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.
Allowed zoning function types
Adding an allowed function category to a zone enables stakeholders to plan buildings of that function category 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.
Draw Area
The "Draw Area" button is used to draw an area for the selected zone in the 3D Visualization. Clicking the button will open the brush panel to assign an area to the selected zone. Once confirmed, the drawn area can be seen on the Zoning Overlay.
Attributes
- Main article: Attribute
Zones can be assigned (user-defined) attributes. Some attributes are automatically created or modified when certain properties of the zone are changed.
