    If you could see the building then what would be the purpose of foundation view. All you have to do is click on the foundation in question and it shows what the object is.

    I use the foundation view to check the size and the space. And when I redecorate (which is often since my city is still expanding), I have to click and check, what is what, all the time, especially for trees and decorations in order to move them. And then I have to go back to foundation view. So it takes more time. I often think that it would be more helpful if I could see things in foundation view, maybe as a shadow or something, without searching and clicking.

    This would be helpful.
    I don't know how many times I have been swearing as I am unable to exactly memorize the city.

    Marylis When I am in foundation mode and want to choose a building for relocation. I just try moving the object, the object shows what it is. If it is not the unit I want I just leave it there and move on. I find this easier than switching back and forth between views. This of course is my opion. :) Then again I usually have a plan set before I start remodeling. I am not one who creates while doing an activity.

    Its a great bonus to be able to better see your buildings but the main thing is deco.
    e.g. you want to bulldoze your small oak tree. Your first 20 may still be in the same general area if you lucky but your winnings are probably more spread out.
    To add to your misery its unlikely you even know how many you are locking for.
