For some use-cases, it may be useful to have a Grid Overlay of locations of residences. Residences may sometimes be treated with additional care or consideration, or may have additional restrictions or protections applied to them. As such, having a dynamically calculated overview of their locations can be very relevant. Such a Grid Overlay can be created by testing which locations have a defined size for residences.

Editor → Current Situation (Ribbon tab) → Overlays (Ribbon bar)
How to create a Grid Overlay of residences:
  1. Average social unit size.jpg
    Add an Average Overlay, configured so that:
    Name: Social residences
    Attribute to average is SOCIAL_UNIT_SIZE_M2
    Averaging distance is 0
  2. Average normal unit size.jpg
    Add an Average Overlay, configured so that:
    Name: Market residences
    Attribute to average is NORMAL_UNIT_SIZE_M2
    Averaging distance is 0
  3. Average luxe unit size.jpg
    Add an Average Overlay, configured so that:
    Name: Luxury residences
    Attribute to average is LUXE_UNIT_SIZE_M2
    Averaging distance is 0
  4. Residences combo.jpg
    Add an Combo Overlay, configured so that:
    Name: Residences
    A: "Social residences" Overlay
    B: "Market residences" Overlay
    C: "Luxury residences" Overlay
    Formula: GT(ADD(A,B,C),0)
  5. Switch to the "Legend" tab, and activate the "custom legend".
  6. Remove all pre-existing entries.
  7. Residences combo custom legend.jpg
    Add an entry, configured so that:
    Name: Not residences
    value: 0
    Color: black
  8. Add an entry, configured so that:
    Name: Residences
    value: 1
    Color: lightgray

Notes

  • Although there are also "senior housing" and "student housing" categories of residences available, those are rarely used and as such not includes in the instructions. To add them, add 2 more Average Overlays with SENIOR_UNIT_SIZE_M2 and STUDENT_UNIT_SIZE_M2 respectively, add then to inputs D and E of the Combo Overlay, and expand the formula to include the D and E parameters: GT(ADD(A,B,C,D,E),0)
