Creating a Neighborhood

To create a Neighborhood, expand the Neighborhoods dropdown in the Facilities Editor and then select Create.



You'll be presented with two ways of drawing your Neighborhood. The first option allows you to draw each line individually. The second option allows you to draw a rectangle. Choose the option you prefer. Draw the Neighborhood around the seats, rooms, and utilities you’d like to include.

If the exterior walls of the Neighborhood you are drawing intersect with any walls or seats on the floor plan, the shape will remain red and you will be unable to create that Neighborhood. Continue to adjust the shape until it turns green, indicating that it is able to become a Neighborhood. 



If you want to include multiple non-adjacent areas on your floor plan in one Neighborhood, you can create a non-contiguous Neighborhood. First, use your preferred method to draw multiple shapes on your floor plan. 



After you have all the necessary areas selected, select Create.



The Creating Neighborhood screen then opens. Enter the desired properties for your new Neighborhood. Properties are entered in exactly the same way for both single-area Neighborhoods and non-contiguous Neighborhoods. As for single-area Neighborhoods, you can appoint up to five Neighborhood Captains for non-contiguous Neighborhoods. It should be noted that you cannot assign Captains to specific regions in non-contiguous Neighborhoods. 

After you have entered your desired properties, select Save to create the Neighborhood.

 

Editing a Neighborhood

After you have made your desired changes, select Save to save your changes.
