    Hi Simtropolis!

    I am wondering if you guys can help me out here. I have seen several posts that show people's cities from the top down, with their neighborhoods/zones highlighted in various colors (ie. certain greens for certain residential zones...etc). I am really curious as to how people make this happen. Please let me know if you get an opportunity.

    Thanks for your time folks! :D

    PS I've searched this out on a couple of sites w/o luck (maybe I am not using the correct keywords?).

    Right click drag.

    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

    Thanks for the reply Ocram. I tried right clicking then dragging, but nothing is happening. Is there a certain thing I should be right clicking on? Do I drag while holding down the button? Do you do it while I'm playing (or should the game be paused)? I apologize for the newbness, but I really don't know. Thanks agian for your time and also for your help, it is appreciated.

    Certain zoom levels only allow you to rotate left and right. The furthest in allows you to rotate freely and even see the moon. The furthest out allows you to view your city from above. There is also Alt-F11 or something that takes a high resolution aerial photo-like screenshot.
