Current State
Under Project preferences, there are settings for zone calculation. These should be expanded, or, as in my proposition below, completely re-imagined.
These are current settings. Some countries have legislation that require different and more nuanced settings.
Deficencies of the Current State
This is an excerpt of one part of zone calculation rules in my country:
You don't have to understand much of Croatian (visina = height) to realize that there are many rules for zone heights, not just two. Zone categories require different rules.
Proposal to Expand Functionality
My proposal is to link zone calculation rules to zone categories and allow users to add more rules according to their needs. Rules should be editable in the same way that graphic override rules are editable. This would enable users to create rules based on the legislation or based on investor's requirements, taking custom properties into account. For instance, we currently have to manually add reductions for outdoor spaces (balconies, loggias, terraces, etc.) and this process can lead to errors. Applying custom rules would enable proper zone scheduling based on specific needs.
