Adding and removing overlays is a generic process, however, certain overlays are dependent on other assets being present too, such as indicators, terrains, vacancy, images, etc. For more information please refer to the respective main articles for the specific overlays.

How to add an overlay:
  1. Select in the editor 'Current Situation' from the ribbon
  2. Select 'Overlays' on the ribbon bar
  3. Select the desired overlay from the pop up menu
  4. ...or select the desired overlay from the drop down menu on the bottom of the left panel
  5. Select 'Add' from the bottom of the left panel
  6. Fill in parameters on the right panel, as required for some overlays
  7. The overlay icon will now appear under the mini map
How to remove an overlay:

  3. Select the desired overlay from the list of active overlays on the left panel
  4. Select 'remove' from the bottom of the left panel

Sometimes it can be convenient to duplicate an already existing overlay. To do so, follow the steps for removal, but select 'Duplicate' in stead of 'Remove'.
