How can the user change it

The "How can the user change it" relates to how changes can be made to the current topic in the engine.

Adding / Removing

This reference can be created by using the "Editor location" template:

{{Editor Location|Step (default=Editor)|Step (default=Editor menu bar)|Step|Step...}}

Each topic refers at the top of the subject to the editor interface in the above convention. This way users can easily find the location where changes can be made. "Adding / Removing" explains how users can add and remove elements to the editor. The topic ends with images, so the user gets a graphical representation of the steps to be taken to reproduce the action.

See the "Adding Constructions" example below.

Adding constructions (Example)

Layout Convention:

1. Right click on the list of constructions
2. Select 'Add' from the context menu. This adds new construction to the construction list, named "0_Building".
3. The new construction is not present in the 3D World yet, since no selection has been added to the Construction yet.
4. For details on adding / changing a selection from a construction see see below.

These steps can be created by using the "Editor steps" template:

{{Editor steps|title=title|Step|Step|Step...}}
