Once the building to be placed has been located and selected in the build menu, a blueprint will show in the world under the cursor. The blueprint has 4 key parts:  
*Building visual - Shows the position and angle of the building when placed
*Building visual - shows the position and angle of the building when placed.
*Blue line - The outer boundary
*Blue line - the outer boundary.
* Green arrows on the boundary - Access points, blocking these will prevent villagers from entering the building
* Small white arrows around the boundary - entry points; blocking these will prevent villagers from entering the building.
*Central arrows - Indicates the current placement activity. The default activity is move/place (arrows pointing in four directions), however, when the CTRL key is held this will change the movement mode to rotate on the Y-axis.
*Central four-way arrows - click and drag to move the building around the map.
*Circle around central arrows - click and drag to rotate the building.


At the early stages of city building, the rotate and place commands will be all that is required in most situations, alongside right click (or ESC) to cancel/delete the selected part. There are two further controls to be aware of:  
At the early stages of city building, the rotate and place commands will be all that is required in most situations, alongside right click (or ESC) to cancel/delete the selected part. There are several further controls to be aware of:  


*Shift + Left Click - Allows the building/part to be placed, but retain the blueprint to place again. This allows for the rapid deployment of multiple buildings/parts of the same time without having to individually reselect them
*Vertical arrows - allow for resizing of building parts on some modular buildings.
*Left Click + Drag on Vertical Arrows - This allows for the resizing of building parts. Only modular buildings are able to have their parts resized.
*Left and right arrows (either side of vertical) - allows the player to scroll between different roofing options on some modular buildings.
*Shift + left-click - Allows the building/part to be placed, but retain the blueprint to place again. This allows for the rapid placement of multiple buildings/parts of the same time without having to individually reselect them.
