Adjust the project in the editor

These two assignments are linked by a common question that is asked often to the support team. I have drawn a building in the 3D Visualization and now it's gone. How is that possible?

Remove building

Probably the answer is that you try to draw a building from the action menu instead of from the buildings.

Place new building

After completing the following two assignments, the difference is clear between drawing buildings and drawing an action that may be a building, for example.

Adjust Floor height

In this first assignment you will adjust the project. After this practice you can edit your base project in case you need to change the project after loading a new project in the wizard. The assignment consists of three parts.

1. Remove a building in the project to create an empty spot where you can put a new building.
2. Add a new building of the category Education of the Education Luxury type.
3. Edit the new Education Luxury building to a building with 10 floors.
