What the distance zone overlay is

Distance Zone 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) and has a maximum distance of 200 meters/ 656.16 feet. The distance you want to set for a construction can be adjusted in the function value tabel. When added to your project, the distance zone overlay can be activated by clicking the corresponding icon under the minimap.

The distance zone overlay can be found as the DISTANCE_ZONE overlay in the editor.

Adding and removing

Template:Editor ribbon

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:
  1. Select in the editor 'GEO DATA' from the ribbon
  2. Select 'Overlays' > 'Edit overlays' from the ribbon bar
  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

Sometimes it can be convenient to duplicate an already existing overlay. To do so, follow the steps for removal, but select 'Duplicate' in stead of 'Remove'.
