Create UWC Lot

Warning

This node is currently under testing

Note

To clear the area run the Clear Area Node first

This general purpose node adds a new UWC lot as parcel to the simulation and sets land cover fractions to the entirety of an area dragged in or created in the sub-area pane. Based on the land cover fraction it estimates the parameters needed for the urban water cycle model. The node further overwrites any land cover data embedded within the land use grid that the area intersects with (any grid cells only partially overlapped by the module area have their land cover ratios proportionally reduced by the intersection fraction). The sum of all entered fractions has to end to be 1. Enables roads, waterbodies, public open space, ect. to be included in the scenario. The node can be used for case studies to develop district structure plans containing a multitude of separate corridor types composed of different land covers.
