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.

How to add the Distance Zone overlay:
  1. Select in the editor '3D World' from the ribbon
  2. Select 'Overlays' > 'Edit overlays' from the ribbon bar
  3. Select the DISTANCE_ZONE overlay from the drop down menu on the bottom of the left panel
  4. Select 'Add' from the bottom of the left panel
  5. The overlay icon will now appear under the mini map
How to remove an overlay:

  3. Select the desired overlay from the list of active overlays on the left panel
  4. Select 'remove' from the bottom of the left panel
  5. Confirm the removal in the pop up confirmation message
