Combo Overlay with masking
This page describes a use case for implementing a combo overlay.
Use Case Description
In an area, the locations for social and normal housing are known. Where does severe rainfall (50cm or higher) have impact on social and normal housing?
For this we need to create three average grid overlays, one for each location. Each location needs to have an identifying attribute assigned to it. Then we need to combine these three overlays in a new combo overlay, linking all three average overlays with a logical formula.

Formula
As we want to indicate the and combine the area that is within the range of all three buildings, the formula for the use case, based on the operators table on the combo overlay page, looks like this:
MIN(A, B, C)
Where A, B and C are the average grid overlays.
How to
- Give each building or area you want to include a specific attribute (ex: 'FOO', 'BAR', 'BOO',...)
- Create three Average Overlays, set the cell averaging distance to the desired range
- Add a Combo Overlay and select the Average overlays in each slot (A,B and C)
- Enter the formula in the Formula field
- Select 'Update Now' in case auto-update was disabled
