    'Swap' buildings and 'Undo' feature.

    When rearranging my base I find it would be often useful to have a 'Swap' button after selecting a building. Pressing this button would prompt the user to choose another building that occupies the same amount of space (or to 'Cancel'). After selecting the user's desired building to 'Swap', both buildings ... well ... swap. It removes one unneccesary step of moving Building A somewhere random, then Building B where Building A used to be, then Building A where Building B used to be.

    Another idea that would optimise (optimize if you're American) base layout editting is an 'Undo'/'Redo' button where the user can undo/redo building swaps/movements with a limit of 5 steps. This will help the user quickly see the difference between having a Cannon instead of an Archer tower in a particular spot, etc.

    I had the same idea!!!

    I was thinking the same. A "swap with" button would be great and lets you save a lot of time.
    It's one of the most common strategy to place upgrading buildings on the outside and then place 'em back when they're done.
    Now that you can mange multiple plans layout I don't think an undo button is needed, my suggestion is to have this "swap" button available only in the modify plan mode so you can keep the playing area clean.
    Please forgive my English.
    Have a nice day.

    the swap is similar to Samaria Siege, but without the extra buttons. Just drag and drop onto the building you want to swap with and it's done automatically.

    I don't think they are going to prioritize any updates dealing with the editor though.

    Hate to burst your bubble..

    But the ruled out list has "Swap buildings – drop one on the other, pop-up or double tap to swap if same size" So it's likely not going to happen... likely.

    Probably because there is a Village Editor and you can swap things good enough with it.

    Also since it is ruled out, means that they (Supercell) has seen this topic repeat many times before, and don't need people focusing on it. As for the undo feature, not ruled out, but... not sure. Maybe making a separate thead on it, or repurpose this one for it by editing the first post, but you can't change the thread title once made.
