More detailed description for each function is in the text file.

To activate the options, first Select an object. The Distance to Object filter is generally the most useful and includes the area of 9 tiles centered on the Editor. To affect all objects of type, put a checkmark under All.../

If the Editor is placed on a commlot in build mode, when there are no sims, it will spawn a townie who can walk around to test the lot and invoke menus. He can be deleted when not needed anymore.

The game should be paused when invoking information dialogs, otherwise the Editor might misbehave and skip some messages. All options designed to work in paused mode in the editor's stack and avoid crashing the active sim.
