Tutorial 1 Exercise 3: Styles

This exercise introduces some more essential editing skills. You’ll change the style of a road feature, and then update the style of a building.

1. Go to the Boulevard bookmark.
2. Mouse over the road in the foreground to see the tooltip, Magnolia Drive Northeast.
3. Open the Style Palette.
4. Click the Road tab. Drag and drop the style, Boulevard with Summer Hardwood, to the road.
5. Undo the previous step.

   You can undo using the Undo button shown in the video or by using the standard keyboard shortcut CTRL-Z.

6. Close the Style Palette.
7. Double-click the building in the distance to zoom into it.

   This is a useful navigational tip that you can use to quickly focus on any feature in the model.

8. Right-click the building and click Edit to enter Edit mode.
9. Drag the Height gizmo to make the building approximately 20 meters in height.
10. Press ESC and then orbit so you can see at least some of the roof.

    Pressing ESC will generally (not always) exit edit mode.

11. Open the Style Palette. Click the Facade tab. In the Metal and Glass folder, drag the style, Lear, to the roof.

    Dragging to the roof updates the facade on all four sides. You can also drag the style to just one side.

12. Undo twice to revert the building to the state before editing.
13. Close the Style Palette.
14. Return to the Home View bookmark.
