Place a building in the editor....Highlight it with mouse and press "TAB" You can then zoom in using the scroll mouse and the roof vanishes..

You can put any entities anywhere you like with ease...press TAB again to unlock the selected building



Hope that helps ..



Sounds Crazy...But it actually works brilliantly ..

You can also right mouse click on an entity, which zooms in on it. Once zoomed in you can then zoom in and out with the mouse wheel and use one of the mouse buttons to drag around the view. You can also use some keys to move the entity's position. I can't remember the exact keys, but the status bar might tell you this. I think it's PgUp/PgDn and arrow keys, but not sure.
