DesignateMenu2010.png

The Designations menu can be accessed by d and provides the means to mark tiles with various designations including Mining, Wood Cutting, Plant Gathering, Stone Detailing as well as removing constructions, controlling traffic and other miscellaneous designations.

If d is pressed when the view is centered on an outside/above ground tile, the designation defaults to Chop down trees - t. If the view was centered inside/below ground, the designation defaults to Mine - d.

To designate an area select the desired designation from the menu, pick a tile and press Enter to select one corner of a rectangle, then pick a second tile and press Enter again to mark the other corner. This also works across Z-levels, allowing 3-dimensional designations in the shape of a cuboid.

To cancel a designation use Remove Designations (x).

Mouse controls: Left Click=paint, Right Click=move marker.
