Limit rain (Water Overlay)

File:Attributes tab overlay.PNG

The attibutes tab of the water overlay and the limit area (limit rain) attribute.

Icon	Attribute	Unit	Range	Description	Default value
	LIMIT_AREA	nominal value		Whether and how calculations in the simulation should be limited to specific locations of the 3D world.	n/a

There are a few modes available for the Water Module, dictating where calculations are to be performed:

• Entire map. Calculations are performed across the entire map. Water can flow anywhere.
• Limit to Water Level Areas Calculations are only performed in the locations where water level areas are present.
• Limit to specific Areas Calculations are only performed in the locations where limitation areas are present.

Possible values

• 0: Entire map
• 1: Limit to Water Level Areas
• 2: Limit to specific Areas

Notes

• Despite the attribute name's implication, this setting does not only affect the location of rainfall, but all calculations.
• When any limit is in effect, water can flow between valid locations, even if those locations are defined through different relevant features (e.g. 2 adjacent water level areas).
• In step 1 of the Water Overlay Wizard, the to be calculated area can be selected. When chosen for the option Limit to specified areas, an extra step 2.6 in the wizard is added.
