Camera, Building, and Time Controls

Use pan, zoom, and rotation to read both the broad operating network and the exact connection under your cursor. The camera is an analysis tool: wide views reveal circulation, while close views reveal access and status.

Select objects to open their operating details. Return to the neutral tool before surveying to avoid accidental placement.

• Pan to follow skier movement
• Zoom out to compare base, lifts, and terrain
• Zoom in before connecting or inspecting
• Use selection panels for status and action

The build catalog shows prerequisites, price, and function. Treat the placement preview as a contract: valid terrain, access, clearance, and connections all matter.

Lay out a complete system on paper before buying its most expensive component. A lift, snowmaking expansion, or village building has value only when the rest of the guest journey supports it.

Pause for planning and construction. Use slower speeds when guests first meet new infrastructure. Accelerate only after the system is stable enough that you will notice a problem before it compounds.

Daily and seasonal effects need enough horizon to appear. A single rush can reveal a queue, but only repeated days can show whether a price, marketing plan, or capital project earns its keep.

• Pause for irreversible choices
• Slow down around opening and new systems
• Review each close during a turnaround
• Use longer horizons for demand and investment decisions
