Clauses

The following groups of clauses exist:

Main clause groups

Specific polygons

Clause	As a polygon	As an item	Type
AREA	It must intersect with this area.	It must be data of this area specifically.	ID indicating a specific area.
NEIGHBORHOOD	It must intersect with this neighborhood.	It must be data of this neighborhood specifically.	ID indicating a specific neighborhood.
ZONE	It must intersect with this zone.	It must be data of this zone specifically.	ID indicating a specific zone.
TERRAIN	It must intersect with this terrain type.	It must be data of this type of terrain. There are no specific "instances" of terrain.	ID indicating a type of terrain.

Attribute polygons

Clause	As a polygon	As an item	Type
AREA_WITH_ATTRIBUTE	It must intersect with at least one area with this attribute.	N/A	Attribute name of one or more areas.
NEIGHBORHOOD_WITH_ATTRIBUTE	It must intersect with at least one neighborhood with this attribute.	N/A	Attribute name of one or more neighborhoods.
ZONE_WITH_ATTRIBUTE	It must intersect with at least one zone with this attribute.	N/A	Attribute name of one or more zones.
TERRAIN_WITH_ATTRIBUTE	It must intersect with terrain with this attribute.	N/A	Attribute name of one or more terrains.

Grids

Clause	As a polygon	As an item	Type
MAXGRIDVALUE	It must intersect with at least this value on a grid overlay.	N/A	Decimal number.
MINGRIDVALUE	It must intersect with at most this value on a grid overlay.	N/A	Decimal number.
GRID	It must fall within this grid.	It must be data of this grid overlay specifically.	ID indicating a specific zone.
GRIDTYPE	It must fall within this type of grid.	It must be data of this type of grid, not a specific "instance" of this grid.	Technical name indicating a type of grid overlay.

Note that each grid automatically covers the entire map, unless a minimum gridvalue or maximum gridvalue is defined. For queries such as GRIDAVG, this can be acceptable. However, for example, a query of SELECT_LANDSIZE_WHERE_GRID_IS_2 is functionally the same as SELECT_LANDSIZE.

Also note that when a GRIDTYPE is selected but multiple overlays of that type exist in the project, there are no guarantees on which overlay is used specifically.

Constructions

Clause	As a polygon	As an item	Type
BUILDING	It must intersect with this construction.	It must be data of this construction specifically.	ID indicating a specific construction.
NET_LOAD	It must intersect with the building of this net load.	It must be data of this net load specifically.	ID indicating a specific net load.
NET_CLUSTER	It must intersect with buildings of net loads of this net cluster.	It must be data of this net cluster specifically.	ID indicating a specific net cluster.
FUNCTION	It must intersect with constructions of this function.	It must be data related to this function type.	ID indicating a specific function.

Dikes

Clause	As a polygon	As an item	Type
DIKE	It must intersect with this dike.	It must be data of this dike specifically.	ID indicating a specific dike.

Building categories

Clause	As a polygon	As an item	Type
CATEGORY	It must intersect with constructions of this category.	It must be related to this specific category.	Technical name indicating a category.

Timestates

Clause	As a polygon	As an item	Type
STATE	It must intersect with buildings or other spatial actions, which are currently in this timestate.	It must be related to this specific timestate	Technical name indicating a timestate.

Attributes

Clause	As a polygon	As an item	Type
ATTRIBUTE_MAX	It must intersect with at least this value of an attribute.	N/A	Decimal number.
ATTRIBUTE_MIN	It must intersect with at most this value of an attribute.	N/A	Decimal number.
ATTRIBUTE	The attribute of which to test the value.	N/A	Attribute name of any polygonal item.

When neither a maximum or minimum value is specified, or when no attribute is specified, everything is considered

Networks

Clause	As a polygon	As an item	Type
NET_LINE	N/A	It must be data of this net line specifically.	ID indicating a specific net line.
NET_LINE_DEFINITION	N/A	It must be data of net lines of this definition.	ID indicating a line definition.
NET_TYPE	N/A	It must be data of net lines of this type of network.	ID indicating the type of network.
