c) Enter the number of floors and basements.
d) Enter an approximate building horizontal span and vertical span (width and depth on the map) in feet.
Tip The horizontal and vertical span should be larger than or the same size as any floors that you might add later.
You can also use Ctrl-click to resize the bounding area in the upper left corner of the campus map. As you change
the size of the bounding area, the Horizontal Span and Vertical Span parameters of the building change to match
