Now constraints are incredibly useful because what you can do is add a constraint especially to the height of a building. And what that allows you to do is to see whether you've gone outside of those constraints. So we're going to work with proposal one in this case and add some constraints to it. Now one of the things that I often do is I go into 2D here. The orthographic mode. Now the reason I do that is I can then zoom in on the building itself, like so, and then constraints is up here on our little design toolbar. So if I hover there, there's a constraint there like that. Now what this allows me to do is it allows me to basically activate guidelines by hovering over edges. So there's one. Like so, there's two.
