Question about dust range indicators.

So the rockets have a radius around which they will spread dust on takeoff. I want to build a fuel plant just outside of this radius. Is there anyway to display this radius (which you see when clicking on the rocket) while I'm trying to place the fuel plant? I don't see an option for this in the keybinds menu.

This also applies to some of the other radius indicators in the game. It would be really nice to be able to toggle them on/off to use while planning placement, but I'm currently thinking there is no way to do this. Hopefully I'm wrong about that.

Put a landing pad down. It technically contains the dust damage.

I know about the landing pad. My question isn't specifically for the scenario I described, that is just an example I'm using because I'm not sure how to otherwise articulate what I mean. The moisture vaporators also have a radius which if shared with other vaporators will have lowered production. The concrete miner has a pollution radius as well.

I'm asking if there is any way to have the UI display these radius indicators while I'm trying to place other buildings. So I could place a few vaporators perfectly, or a fuel plant just outside of the rocket or concrete miner dust ranges without having to guesstimate or count hexes. Although I can't find an option to see the hexes so counting might not be viable either.
