Defining zone types

Zones have two different types: Audience Zones and Boundary Zones. A zone’s type defines how it interacts in the simulation and its behavior when added to a Coverage Beam for optimization. Imported Zones will retain the zone types defined in SketchUp, but you can also change a zone’s type in HOLOPLOT Plan if it is imported.

You can change the type of zone using the dropdown menu in the Properties Panel when a zone is selected. This will change the zone color in the Viewport.

The table below contains information on the different zone types and their properties.
