Highlight

Last updated: 23 December 2025 16:29 BST

The Highlight tool allows users to highlight buildings with custom colours, providing a clear visual distinction within the urban environment.

  1. Start selecting
    • Click on Start Selection.
    • Select the buildings to highlight. Selected buildings will be highlighted in red.
  2. Apply custom colour
    • Adjust the colour using the options below, including transparency.
    • Click Apply to set the custom colour to the selected buildings.
  3. Stop selecting
    Click Stop Selecting to remove the red outline. Buildings can be modified later by clicking Start Selection again.

  4. Saving custom colours
    • Select a white square above the Reset button.
    • Click the plus button to save the current colour to the selected square.
    • Click the bin icon to unallocate the square.
  5. Reset
    The Reset button clears the list of selected buildings and applied colours (all buildings revert to grey) but does not clear saved custom colours.
