Distance Zone Overlay

The Distance Zone Overlay is an overlay which can be used for displaying zones around buildings. One use case for this could be a zone around a wind turbine that resembles the noise contour. The distance zone is always a circle situated around the affected building(s). The radius of this circle can be adjusted in the function value tabel. See below for more information on how to adjust the function value. The overlay can also be modified to count how many zones are overlapping each other. See below for more information on how to enable this "Count Hits instead of Distance" option. An example use case for this overlay can be found on the Use cases Distance Overlay page.

Additional information displayed in hover panel

The distance of the selected object which has a distance zone is displayed
The number of overlapping zones is displayed

When clicking on a specific location in the map, the hover panel gives additional information of the distance from the clicked location to the object which has a distance zone.
If the "Count Hits instead of Distance" option is enabled, the overlay show the number of overlapping zones on the clicked location.

Hit count

When the option Hit count is selected, the functionality of this overlay changes to counting for each grid cell how many objects are within the defined distance of those objects. Which objects are considered depends on the configured rasterization and whether they have a distance defined that is larger than 0.

Distance to windmills (500m)
Hit count of windmills (500m)

Results

The result of the Distance Overlay is a grid which shows, depending on the value of the hit count attribute:

The distance to the closest Item when it is within its defined Distance zone m.
The amount of times this grid cell is within the defined Distance zone m of an Item.

Icon	Result type	Unit	Mode	Description
	ZONE	m		1.The distance to the closest Item when it is within its defined Distance zone m. 2.The amount of times this grid cell is within the defined Distance zone m of an Item.

Variants

The following overlays that previously were separate entities can now be constructed using a general distance overlay:

-The Distance Zone Overlay is an [[Overlay]] which is used for displaying distance zones around constructions, like industry. The distance zone is situated around the affected construction(s). The distance you want to set for a construction can be adjusted in the [[Function_Values|function value tabel]]. There also exists a "Count Hits instead of Distance" option to count the number of occurrences of the construction(s) in the zones. When added to your project, the distance zone overlay can be activated by clicking the corresponding icon in the overlay panel on the right site of the [[3D World]]. An example use case for this overlay can be found on the [[Usecase Distance Overlay]] page.
