Buildings

Buildings in Pathfinder are part of a location and contain floors. They can be assigned building footprints on the interactive map.

Creating Buildings

You can create buildings for your location from the navigation tab in the side bar. Click on the add button and select building from the drop down menu similar to adding a location.
You can also select a building on the interactive map (1), right click on a building block and click on add building (2) in the context menu.
Fill out the new building’s information and click OK.

You can create multiple buildings for a single location.

Once the building has been created you can start adding floors to it.
