Math has never been my thing!!! And this is quite embarressing to ask this...... Can someone help me to figure out how to find the proper size of a building to fit the proper size of the land. Many buildings I've looked at tell me info like this "spanning 28 by 22 meters" How do I figure out what size land this will fit on??? If I want land that is 2048 m.......about what size building am I looking for...??? Thank you, Aislinn Jewell

22*28 = 616m2.
Basicly as long as your land is wider than 22m it will fit.

I used to teach math. If I only got a nickel for each time somebody said, "I'll never need this stuff."  Here it is. Math in a nutshell. I'm serious. - Draw a picture.
- Add what you know to the picture.
- Try things, until you figure it out.
In your case, draw a picture of your land, figure out how long and wide it is. Don't be afraid to estimate. It doesn't have to be be perfect. The area is 2048 (or so I think you said). Is it square? Long and skinny? L-shaped? You can even walk to each corner, and write down the coordinates from the indicator at the top of the screen. These are called "problems" for a reason. You have to work on them to figure them out. But it feels so good when you finish.

Measure the plot. In editing the terrain, each square is a 4x4 square. If the widest point is 6 squares wide, the widest building you can have is 24m. And so on.
