Creating the geometry of a new location using the available drawing tools

REQUIREMENTS
Permission	Operation Administrator and higher
Connectivity	Online only

This document describes how to create location geometries with the available drawing tool directly in the InfoEx system.

ISSUE

Drawing or editing locations directly in the Google Earth map has not been implemented yet Workaround: See How to import the geometry of a location from a KML file for an alternative method. JIRA: -132 (Sept. 22, 2013))

Step-by-step description

The following sections discuss the creation of polygon, line and point geometries separately.

ISSUE

The system currently does not support multi-geometries (i.e., multiple, separate polygons, lines or points associated with a single location). Workaround: Please contact Pascal Haegeli to discuss possible solutions. JIRA: -772 (Aug.13, 2013)

Drawing a polygon

Location types that support a polygon geometry include:

• Operation area
• Forecast area
• Operating zone
• Permanent closure
• Ski run
• Avalanche path

1.	Description of first step.
2.	Description of second step.
3.	...

Drawing a line

Location types that support a polygon geometry include:

• Road
• Rail
• Route
• Ski run
• Avalanche path

1.	Description of first step.
2.	Description of second step.
3.	...

Drawing a point

Location types that support a point geometry include:

• Operation area
• Ski run
• Avalanche path
• Weather site
• Shot placement

1.	Description of first step.
2.	Description of second step.
3.	...
