What the Distance Zone Overlay is
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 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.
The Distance Zone Overlay can be found as the DISTANCE_ZONE Overlay in the editor.
Adding and removing the Distance Zone Overlay
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.

Selecting Count Hits instead of Distance option
- Select in the editor 'GEO DATA' from the ribbon
- Select 'Overlays' from the ribbon bar
- Select the DISTANCE_ZONE overlay from the drop down menu on the bottom of the left panel
- Select General in the right panel
- Check-mark the "Count Hits instead of Distance" option in the right panel
