Does EASE have a feature that can enable us to make curved audience areas?
Also, is the audience area only limited to 4 vertices or can this be extended?
Thanks.

Hi Varun,

Have a look at the Amphitheater prototype to see an example of how to handle curved audience areas.

Audience areas must have four--and only four--sides. And cheating by adding a vertex to the side of a triangle can lead to calculation errors. In Eyes, you can map to faces and the four side limitation does not apply. However, you lose the option of the isolines.

Hi Varun,
When you use the audience areas with four vertices there is a limit on how short the short side of a trapazoid can be ..... it seems to start to cause a calculation error when the short side is less than 1/2 of the opposite side in length... so as an example if 2 sides that are angles are equal in length at say 10 meters and the top is 5 meters then the lower edge cannot be less than 2.5 meters
