Placing Mode - Toggle individual buildings/zones

What does this option do? I don't see any difference whether I have it on or off.

    this option means you can place specific buildings, it's useful for making your own downtown, shopping area and suberbs!

    When you say "your own buildings" do you mean ones that you have designed or choosing which building you want to place from the in-game models?

    If it's the latter, I can't work out how to do it.

    You place the buildings that would otherwise grow at random.

    Ocram's Razor: Though "more things shouldn't be used than are necessary," they're just too fun to pass up! Expect many verbose arguments from me. I will try to write abstracts before or short summaries after from now on.

    Words to live by:
    "Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit. But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. For to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, and to another the word of knowledge according to the same Spirit; to another faith by the same Spirit, and to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit... But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually..." 1 Corinthians 4-11
    "Do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." Matthew 6:34
    "Do not judge so that you will not be judged. For in the way you judge, you will be judged; and by your standard of measure, it will be measured to you." Matthew 7:1-3

    Ok but how?

    I've finally worked out how to do it. For whatever reason in Cities XL 11 when you select "Placing Mode" on the main menu and then start a new city placing mode reverts to being off.

    To turn it on you have to hit F1 whilst "in city", bring up the options menu  and turn it back on. Only then does an extra icon appear on your build options that allows you to place buildings.

    Took me blooming ages to figure out how to get round what can only be described as a very minor but very irritating bug.

    I believe it is a feature so that you can build different cities differently.
