every Anno 117 building by region, tier, and category from a built-in menu with full production chain previews.<\/li><li>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.<\/li><li>Preview effect radii and street-distance reach in real time as you position service buildings &#8211; affected buildings highlight green on the canvas and total attributes, maintenance costs and build costs are calculated on the fly.<\/li><li>Place roads, farm fields, and modules with drag-to-fill tools; swap an entire road type across the layout in one keystroke.<\/li><li>Copy, paste, move, and rotate individual buildings or entire groups with full undo\/redo support.<\/li><li>Export your finished layout as a PNG, optionally with a full cost and statistics summary appended.<\/li><\/ul><p dir=\"auto\">\u00a0<\/p><p dir=\"auto\">The Layout Tool runs as a standalone desktop application and does not
