Output Data
On the Output Data tab of the Zones of Influence form, specify the file and the fields that will be used to store the zone boundaries created as a result of this process.
File
Select a file type and enter or double-click to select the name of an output file. If the file does not exist, it will be created.
East and North Fields
Specify the names of the fields in which the Easting and Northing coordinates are stored in the output file. In the X, Y, Z coordinate system, these are the X and Y directions.
Z field
Specify the name of the field in which the Z coordinates are stored in the output file.
The zone with the largest radius is assigned a lower Z value, while the zone with the smallest radius is assigned a higher Z value. This ensures that the zone layers are displayed in the correct order in Vizex (when Depth Testing is enabled).
Join field
In forms that require polylines as an input, the values in this field define whether the data points in the input file should be joined by a line. If successive records have the same value in this field, a line will join the points. If two-factor topology is required, the values in a String field may also be used to segment the lines.
Populate Zone Field
Select the Populate Zone field check box option, if you want to assign a code to the holes in each zone.
Zone field
If you have selected the Populate Zone field option, enter the name of a Zone field. The code values in the Zone field will allow the area of each zone to be calculated, or allow the holes to be colour-coded by zone in Vizex.
Zone code values
Enter the values that you wish to assign to the holes in each zone.
Zones
You can choose whether to output the Zone boundary or individual circles.
Auto load
If the Output file is not already open in Vizex, select this option to load the boundary strings once they have been created.
When the layer is loaded in Vizex, default settings are applied:
- Field inputs are populated from the source function (where applicable) or left blank.
- Default draw options are applied.
- All other check box options are de-selected.
