To add a spatial effect to a measure, select the measure you wish to add the effect to, and select one of the following options:

• "Add Building" to add the placement of a building
• "Add Landmark" to add the placement of a landmark
• "Add Upgrade" to add the execution of an upgrade
• "Add Spatial" to add a manipulation of the land

Of each type, multiple effects can be added, e.g. a measure can place multiple buildings, and/or perform multiple upgrades.

To remove a spatial effect from a measure, select the spatial effect sub-item you wish to remove, and select "Remove". Make sure to select the sub-item, and not the measure itself.

Buildings and Landmarks
