How to edit Zone properties

Editor → Current Situation (Ribbon tab) → Administrative (Ribbon bar) → Show Zoning Plan (Dropdown) → The Zone to edit (Left panel)

The right panel allows you to edit the properties of zones.

The tabs allow for switching between types of properties.

Selecting a zone in the left panel makes its properties adjustable in the right panel. Multiple kinds of properties exist for zones. It's possible to switch between the various types of properties by selecting the desired tab at the top of the right panel.

General

Zones have a number of general properties.

Name

The field for the "Name".

The "Name" field is where the name of a zone can be changed. The name of a zone can be seen in the zoning plan adjustment panel of the Zoning overlay. By entering a new name in the "Name" field, the zone can be given a more identifying name.

Color

The selector for the "Color".

The color selector allows the zone color to be edited. The zone color can be seen in the zoning overlay. The zone color is used for assigning different colors to different zones, to help users to distinguish the defined zones. By selecting the "Color" field, a new panel opens, in which a new identification color for the highlighted zone can be selected.

Permitter

The field for the "Permitter".

The permitter dropdown menu allows the granting or denial of permissions to be the responsibility of a specific stakeholder. When an action is taken in the zone, the action will be tested against the configuration of this zone, and the final decision will be made by this stakeholder. This can be changed by selecting a different stakeholder.

Excel

The display field and button for the Excel file.

The excel file can request TQL statements to calculate a permittance score, determining whether a certain action can be permitted or not. Additionally, it can provide information on why that action was not permitted. To change or update this calculation, select "Select Excelsheet" to open the Excel Manager.

Allowed zoning function types

The list of function categories that can be allowed.

Adding an allowed function category to a zone enables stakeholders to plan buildings of that category function inside the zone. To add a function category to a zone, check the checkbox next to the desired category. To disallow a function category, make sure the checkbox next to the desired category is unchecked.

Draw Area

The button to draw the zone.

The "Draw Area" button is used to draw an area for the selected zone in the 3D Visualization. Clicking the button will open the brush panel to assign an area to the selected zone. Once confirmed, the drawn area can be seen on the Zoning Overlay.

Attributes

Main article: Attribute

Zones can be assigned (user-defined) attributes. Some attributes are automatically created or modified when certain properties of the zone are changed.
