Areas
- Main article: Areas (Overlay).

What is the terrains overlay
The terrains overlay is an overlay which is used for displaying multiple terrains in one overlay. When this overlay is added to a project, it can be activated by selecting the corresponding icon on the minimap. When activated, it displays the active terrains as selected in the terrains list. The terrains appear in the color as selected in the Area's properties.
It has 2 properties which can be adjusted.
