The Exclusion Areas page allows a user to identify specific geographic areas within the project AOI that must be avoided by the routing tool.
- Exclusion Areas are not required.
- There is no limit to the number of Exclusion Areas that can be added to a project.
- The work completed on this page can always be reconfigured - Exclusion Areas can be edited, deleted, or added at a later time.
Adding Exclusion Areas
There are two ways to add Exclusion Areas: Upload or Draw. All Exclusion Areas, either uploaded or drawn, will display as cards in the panel to the left of the map.
1. Draw Exclusion Areas | Selecting the Draw icon will change the mouse cursor to a crosshair. Click on the map to draw a polygon around the desired exclusion area. Repeat this process to draw additional areas, if desired. |
2. Upload Exclusion Areas | Select the Upload icon to navigate to the desired file. Polygons must be stored in a KML/KMZ or a zipped Shapefile. |
3. Layer Panel | Expand to toggle on/off Project Layers and Data Layers. |
4. Exclusion Area Actions | Each card has the option to Edit Name, Zoom To, or Delete. * |
5. Save Changes | When Exclusion Areas are set, select Save Changes. |
Next Steps
- The next step is to configure the Routes page.
Notes:
* Once placed, the location of an Exclusion Area cannot be edited. To move an Exclusion Area, it must be deleted and uploaded, or re-drawn in a new location
