Overlays and Polyline Tools

Overlays are polygon or polyline files that are frequently used for cell selection in the model domain. EE supports the drawing and modifying of these polylines using the Overlays menu which is shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2. The use of these options is summarized in Table 1.
