Sectors are an easy way to map the external inputs and energies that affect your property, such as prevailing wind, the path of the sun, fire risk and pollution. Each Sector is drawn as an arc radiating from a point on your Map, giving you a high-level overview of the forces you'll want to design around.

To work with Sectors, click 'Sectors' in the main menu. This opens the Sectors panel where you can add, edit and remove the Sectors on your Map.

Adding a Sector

Click the 'Add Sector' button to create a new Sector. Each Sector can be configured with several options:

  • Label - a name to identify the Sector, such as "Summer Sun" or "Cold Wind"
  • Color - the color used to display the Sector on the Map
  • Start & End - the compass angles, in degrees (0–359), where the Sector arc begins and ends
The Map Sectors panel with the Add/Edit Sector form open, showing Label, Colour, and Start°/End° angle fields with Save/Cancel/Delete controls.

Sectors can be drawn as either a circular arc or a square band using the mode toggle at the top of the panel, depending on how you'd like to represent the input.

Important
Your Sectors are always saved with the Map — the Persist toggle only controls their visibility as you navigate. When turned on, Sectors stay visible on the Map while you move around and work in other panels; when turned off, they're hidden from view until you open the Sectors panel again. Either way, your Sectors are never lost.

To remove a Sector, click its 'Delete' button and confirm. You can edit a Sector at any time by opening it from the Sectors panel and updating its values.
