Creating a zone

1.  In the Network editor window, click the Insert mode icon .

2.  In the Network window, click the Zones button.

3.  In the network, click the position where you want to insert the centroid of the zone.

Tip: You specify settings for the newly inserted network object directly in the Quick view (Zones) window.

The attributes of zones are described here (Properties and options of zones).

If you want to display the Create Zone window when inserting the object, you can right-click the Zones button in the Network window and activate Show dialogs when inserting objects.

The centroid of the zone is inserted. You can now create a boundary. The border is optional. It defines the partial zones and determines the surface of the main zone i.e. illustrates its extent.

You can continue as follows:

  • If you do not want to define a boundary for the zone, press the Esc key. The zone is then inserted as centroid without a boundary. You can specify the boundary later (Creating a boundary).
  • If you want to define a boundary for the zone right away, proceed with (Creating a boundary) step 5.
