Vacancy overlay, highlighting in red vacant Building in the project area

The Vacancy overlay is an overlay that visualizes all Buildings marked as vacant in the project area.

Setting up and configuring the Vacancy overlay

The vacancy overlay reads the vacancy property of individual Buildings. In other words, the Vacancy overlay does not show anything by default, unless the property 'Vacant' has been set for the appropriate Buildings first in the project area. Currently it is only possible to do this manually.

Setting up vacancy for individual Buildings

Building properties on left panel, with Vacant check box marked
Editor → Current Situation (Ribbon tab) → Buildings (Ribbon bar)

When an individual Building is highlighted on the left panel with the list of Buildings, on the right panel the Building properties become available. Directly under the 'Change Function' field (with image) marking a check box named 'Vacant' makes it possible to indicate if a Building is vacant or not. In the regular view of the Tygron Platform a large sign will now appear above the Building that was set as vacant. On the Vacancy overlay the same Building will then be marked in red on a white opaque background.
