    I'm playing my my new macbook, as it is faster than my old iMac.  Unfortunately the laptop keyboard doesn't have "home" or "end" keys so I can't rotate any buildings.  If anyone knows how to work around this problem it would be greatly appreciated.

    There is something you can do involving pushing two buttons at once. I saw it a long time ago, but it might have been archived due to age. Anyway, I'm still looking for the answer, but I do recommend a search. Maybe you can find it before I do. 3.gif

    It's either the "alt/option" or the "fn" key in combination with the arrow keys, can't remember which ones, but some combo of those will do it.

    I'll give that a try, I only tried using the "apple" key and the arrows I didn't try option, cntrl or fn.  Thanx in advance!

    EDIT:  For future reference:

    fn+page up/down=rotate map

    fn+home/end=rotate plop

    apple+arrow=scroll

    thanks for all your help guys

    Yes, you can use the function key to make home/end and page up/down work.

    I really needed that, and I finally figured it out.
