Visualize Parameters

visualize parameters is a tool in optioneer that automates symbology based on your project’s configuration instead of manually styling each layer, it instantly generates a color coded backdrop that reflects your design rules—including penalty, cost, and no go zone parameters defined in your optioneer configs why visualizing parameters matters using visualize parameters is important because it transforms complex configuration data into an immediate, visual understanding of your project area instead of digging into tables or manually adjusting symbology, you can quickly spot constraints — see at a glance where penalties, costs, or no go zones are concentrated understand routing behavior — identify why the engine favours certain corridors or routes over others support collaboration — a color coded map makes it easier to explain constraint driven decisions to colleagues and stakeholders save time — automating symbology eliminates the need for manual styling, especially in large projects with many layers setting up visualize parameters to use visualize parameters , you must first generate at least one route option once a route has returned select the route navigate to the analysis tab and choose the route from the add to selection drop down, or open the results library and add it from there open visualize parameters select visualize parameters icon for the case of interest visualize parameters configure the symbology select a configuration select a design rule choose a parameter table (e g , penalties, costs, and/or no go zones) select a color ramp click apply to establish the symbology overlay additional parameters (optional) to layer more symbology, repeat the process by selecting another design rule , parameter table , and (if needed) a different color ramp click apply again to add the overlay save your symbology save the visualize parameters setup as a docid 0qonlnws6wmlv13iyfq3a to retain it for future use
