The land on ABC El Salvador and ABC El Salvador 2 has been locked. Only your teacher can edit it. If you really need to change the land form then you will need to consult with your teacher on it.

In Jokaydia Grid, you can build on land, in the water and move your constructions up into the sky as well. Our region is quite small so we will need to think carefully about where we are building.

Next choose a location to build that is not to busy already. Right click and choose the edit option, or use the build button from the lower toolbar.



Click on the Magic Wand Tool and Choose a Basic Shape by clicking on it then clicking on the land or in the air.

Next you will want to position your object. You can move it in different directions along a straight line by utilising the blue, green and red arrows. You can also move it along a plane using the blue and green corner arrows.

You can also easily resize your shapes by pressing the shift and control keys together and dragging on the gray corners or the red, blue or green squares.
