A new [[Project]] will require geographical properties to be set, known as the [[project map]]. This includes the size of the [[Project]] and its geographical location.

	The size of the project can be set by using a slider to set the desired size. By default, a [[Project]] is square with an equal with and height. However, it is also possible to opt for a rectangular [[Project]], allowing the width and height of the [[Project]] to be set independently from one another. However, the ratio between width and height can at most be 1:4. A [[Project]] is always cardinally aligned and cannot be rotated.

	The New Project Wizard guides a user through the creation of a new [[Project]] in the {{software\|client}}. It allows for the setting of a [[Project]]'s name, localization and geographical properties. Next, in order to determine where your new project will be situated and how large it will be, a rectangular area has to be selected in a 2D map viewer of the world. Depending on the location of the project, the user can determine which [[Project Source]]s the project should be based on. Geographical data will be requested from these [[Project Source]]s to build up and populate your new project.

	The New Project Wizard can be started directly from the [[main menu]]. After the New Project Wizard is completed, the [[Editor]] is automatically opened.
