How about a Rotating Camera so you can see the other side of your City? Often roads & small decorations can be hidden behind tall buildings.

OK Mr Pedadantic. Rotate the City to view it from another angle then . View it from North/South/East/WestThere is no 'other side.' All the buildings are rendered in 2-D, not 3-D. Nor can they be rotated, for the same reason.

No, pedadantic is not a word. I believe the OP meant "pedantic", meaning "To be too concerned with literal accuracy or formality". And yes, I agree that 2D is 2D !LOL. 2-D is 2-D. The drawing that you see is all there is - no sides, no backs. Draw a picture on a piece of paper, and then try to view the edge of it. And what the heck does pedadantic mean? Is there such a word?
Using the existing images, they could provide a view that is the 180 degree rotation (maybe not exactly, as all the building then effectively rotate 180 degree also. This might help you notice issues with your city.
Lucky you @snake11s! I also despise the corporate world and wish I had the ability to leave. I have met more loathsome, stupid, arrogant people in my 25 year career than I can count, and most of them were senior managers. I'll bet you anything that Inno's junior and mid-level employees would like to make the changes we players want as much as we want them to and it is senior management who is stopping them. They are not willing to spend the money to truly fix things because they very likely earn more by spending on marketing their new games and attracting new players, even though I'd bet the attrition of the new players in much higher than that of existing players. Eventually this strategy will kill them bc the long time players will leave and the pool of new players will become smaller. Then a venture capital company will buy them, install experienced managers and shut the game down completely. Ay yi yi! I used to work for one of the behemoth management consulting firms so I have seen this type of misguided strategy time and again. It never works out well for anyone in the end.Wow Daisy, that was awesome...and that is why I left the corporate world.
I'm afraid that we require all formal proposals to use a standard format; see the link in my signature for details. That helps ensure that everyone's ideas get a free and full discussion. For now, I'll move this to Forge Hall for further comment.How about a Rotating Camera so you can see the other side of your City? Often roads & small decorations can be hidden behind tall buildings.
On the topic, if the main concern is just being able to see you city layout better, there have been some other proposals in the past to either make your buildings transparent, or to switched to a "flattened" mode where you just see the footprint. Seems like either of those would be easier to implement.
