Oriented Zones

Zones that have an Oriented shape are rectangular, and can be rotated to have any orientation.

Drawing an Oriented Zone

To draw an oriented zone, first press the "Oriented" button in the left panel. Once the button is outlined in red, select a zone type for the new zone from the list above the it. To draw multiple normal zones of that type in a row, you can toggle on the draw mode by double clicking on the zone type. If there is a hotkey associated with the zone type, you also can press the hotkey to toggle the draw mode.

Oriented zones are drawn by drawing the top side first, then setting the width. Once the shape and zone type are selected, you can draw the top side by pressing the left mouse button at the start, dragging the mouse to the place you want the end, and releasing the left mouse button. You can then set the width of the zone by moving the mouse to where you want the bottom of the zone to be and clicking.

If GEDI is in toggled drawing mode, you can then draw more zones of the same shape and type. To turn off toggled drawing mode, you can click the zone type name once, or press the hotkey for that zone type if there is one.

Rotating an Oriented Zone

To rotate an oriented zone, first select the zone by clicking inside the zone or by dragging a box around it. An oriented zone can be resized by moving the handle at the top of the zone. Mouse over the handle until the cursor changes to two arrows forming a circle, and grab it by pressing the left mouse button. Drag the mouse until the zone is oriented the way you want it, and let go of the left mouse button. The size of the zone will not change.

Resizing an Oriented Zone

To resize an oriented zone, first select the zone by clicking inside the zone or by dragging a box around it. An oriented zone can be resized by either moving a side or a corner. Moving a side will change only the height or only the width of the zone and moving the corner will change both at the same time. Grab a side or a corner by mousing over it until the cursor changes shape and press the left mouse button. Drag the mouse to the new location of the side or corner and release the left mouse button to resize the zone. The orientation of the zone will not change.
