# 2.1.7 Structure

The Structure command places diagrams of structures (buildings, bridges and other scenic elements) on the layout. The operation is similar to the Turnout (Section 2.1.8) command.

When you select a structure from the list, its diagram is drawn in the diagram canvas. The dimensions are also listed on the dialog.

The Structure Selection dialog will disappear while dragging on the layout if the Hide Check Box on the dialog is set. This is useful if you have a small screen.

See the Hot Bar (Section 2.7) command for details on placing Structures on the layout.

Structures are placed on the layout in same way as turnouts except that there is no Active endpoint and structures do not align with existing tracks.
