Origin-Destination - How to Select Zones while using the Origin-Destination tool

To select a zone, click the [Zone Selection] button in the Zone Selection Panel

The Origin-Destination tool shows data about travel behaviour between and within selected zones. It provides a breakdown of each of these options by different vehicle types.

To select a zone, click the [Zone Selection] button in the Zone Selection Panel. Users can select:

  • a straight line (the button on the left side with the two dots on either side of a line)
  • A polygon area (the button on the right with multiple dots in a group)
  • A pre-defined Zone (i.e., SA1 to SA4, postcode, LGAs, LADs etc)

To make a selection, click once to place a dot. Repeat this process of placing dots until you have created your desired zone. To finalise your zone selection, double-click on the last dot to generate either your line or polygon.

Below is an example of how to select a zone. Note the double-click at the end to finalise the selection:
