For some calculations, it may be necessary or prudent to include data in a Project in the form of Areas, such as as a basis for the Travel Distance Overlay. However, making Area's dynamic for Future Designs, such as having a specific Area only exist when a certain Measure has been activated, will require some specific setup.

Editor → Future Design (Ribbon tab) → Measures (Ribbon bar)
How to activate and deactivate an Area together with a Measure:
  1. First make sure you have added or imported Areas that you want to (de)activate.
  2. In Future Design, open the list of Measures.
  3. Select the Measure which should (de)activate the Area(s).
  4. In the right panel, select the tab "Areas".
  5. Click on the "Add" button.
  6. Select the areas that you want to (de)activate. Optionally filter on name.
  7. Click on OK to confirm. The (de)activated areas should now be added to the measure.

Notes

  • It is not possible to dynamically create Areas, so activating and deactivating Areas is the only effective way to effectively change their state.
