Anno 117 - Layout Tool

The Layout Tool is a visual city planner for Anno 117: Pax Romana. It gives you a tile-accurate canvas to design and iterate on city districts offline – before committing a single stone in-game.

What you can do with the Anno 117 Layout Tool:

• Design city layouts on both in game supported grids (90° and 45°) with pan and zoom
• Browse every Anno 117 building by region, tier, and category from a built-in menu with full production chain previews.
• Import real island terrain from the game as a colour-coded planning background, or load one of your live savegames to continue planning around an existing city.
• Preview effect radii and street-distance reach in real time as you position service buildings – affected buildings highlight green on the canvas and total attributes, maintenance costs and build costs are calculated on the fly.
• Place roads, farm fields, and modules with drag-to-fill tools; swap an entire road type across the layout in one keystroke.
• Copy, paste, move, and rotate individual buildings or entire groups with full undo/redo support.
• Export your finished layout as a PNG, optionally with a full cost and statistics summary appended.

The Layout Tool runs as a standalone desktop application and does not modify any game files. Island and savegame data is read via the open-source RdaConsole and FileDBReader tools, which the app downloads automatically on first use.
