Defining a Zone

From the Zones Design section of the action bar, click Zone .
Optional: Edit the name proposed for the zone.
If you have not yet created a zone group, click OK in the message box to create one.
Select the Zones Group to contain the zone.
From the Geometry tab create one or several contours lying on the surface.
See Creating a Contour for more information.
Optional: Click Check Overlapped Zones to verify that the zone contour does not overlap with another zone contour.
Select Create 3D point to associate a point to the zone. It acts as the anchor of the zone name tag, and is used for an automatic core sampling.
As you click OK, the 3D point is created as the projection of the center of gravity of the zone contour onto the surface.
Notes:
- If you reopen the dialog box, the coordinates of the 3D point are displayed but dimmed.
- In most cases, do not modify its coordinates, except for cases such as U-shaped zones, where you may need to modify them:
  
  Either by modifying the values of X, Y or Z in the tree,
  
  Or double-clicking the point in the 3D area and editing it as any Generative Shape Design point.
From the Laminate
See Adding Laminates and Importing a Laminate for more information.
From the Rosette tab, select a rosette.
See About Rosette and Rosette Transfer Type for more information.
Repeat this scenario as required.

The feature is added to the tree, under the Zones Groups.xxx node.

Two knowledge parameters are stored under the zone, in the Laminate node:

See also About Laminates for more information.

They enable you to customize the geometry used to create the zones and tapers and the associability of the zones laminate.
