Houses may be connected with a stretch of roof called a connection. Only houses that are relatively close together with parallel roofs can be connected correctly.

To connect two buildings

First start a connection either from the House dialog box image\House.gif or just after adding a house image\buttonarrow.gif

At the "Point within house" prompt select a point inside on the roof of the first house (1 in the diagram above)

At the "House edge" prompt, select the edge of the first house, nearest the second house. (2 in the diagram)

At the "Next house edge" prompt, select the edge of the second house (3 in the diagram)
