Zone association geometric

For each location, you can specify whether the Zone number attribute takes effect during allocation or whether the zone in which the location is located is allocated (geometrically).

Note

At the zone there is a relation Associated locations, which refers to all locations allocated geometrically or via the zone number.

Note: Locations also have Nearest node and Nearest active node relations. They show the closest node or active node to the given location. This information is useful when modeling paths between nodes.

At nodes that are nearest (active) nodes to locations, there are the relations Locations where node is nearest / Locations where active node is nearest that refer to those locations whose nearest (active) node is the corresponding node.
