Description

Build version

v1.100

What happened?

Dragging across a floor in bulldoze mode to remove it, also removes the whole elevator. I think SimTower pops a dialog box or something to confirm you want to do this. I think the bulldoze mechanic, when dragged, should only affect one type of asset at a time (eg just offices instead of offices, flooring and elevator in one drag)

Steps to reproduce
  1. Bulldoze a floor and move a mousedrag across elevator.

Before submitting
  • I checked whether this still reproduces on the latest build at verticopolis.com (fork/local or older-build reports are still welcome).
  • I searched existing issues and this is not a duplicate.

Research direction

No file or test is named. Reproduce the drag across an elevator in bulldoze mode, then locate the bulldoze drag handling and review how it selects assets. Done means the requested elevator protection or confirmation behavior is implemented and the reproduction steps no longer remove the elevator unexpectedly.
