Title: Parcelization of Industrial
Post by: Dreamcat on July 11, 2009, 04:16:33 PM
So I want to know how to parcelize my idustrial squares (give them litte boxes with arrows, you know, like Residential and Commercial zones have?).

I tried holding down Ctrl, but it doesn't work, OK?

I'm sick of having my hi-tech all ugly with all those little filler grounds.

I belive its ctrl-shift-zone.

You can use the 'ctrl' and 'alt' keys for some control industrial zones, but the arrows facing the roads don't appear until you let go of the mouse button (keeping the 'ctrl' key pressed). So, you kind of have to do it a section at a time depending on the plan you want. And you may have to guess and check until you get used to it (I did). Using 'ctrl' makes the zone a single unit (similar to res. and com.). Using 'alt' with 'ctrl' rotates the zone 90 degrees if there is a road that direction. The 'shift' key doesn't seem to have any affect. And the 'alt' key by itself doesn't either.

Customizing zones can give a more uniform Industrial area, if that's what you like...
