designating animal areas

[timeandtherani]

I'm probably missing something obvious, but I can't figure out how to designate animal areas.  I go into the menu to put Alpaca 1 (or whatever) into the animal area 1, but I don't see a way to let me select a place to put animal area 1 or even show me if/where animal area 1 already exists.  Please tell me what I'm not seeing?  Thanks.

If I recall correctly, it has been a month or so since I've played the Rim

I think there is a tab called Animals.  In that window, you can specify which area you'd like your animals to dwell in.

there is also a designation tool that allows you to add and delete areas, it has options to select when you click it to "manage areas" as well.

No, that's what I'm trying to say.  I found all those buttons, I can add an area fine, but I can't find how to actually set an area of land for my animals. Like, you can set a growing zone or a stockpile zone, but how can I click and drag an animal zone?

Click the "Architect -> Zones" button and there the "Extend allowed area" button.
There you can select an existing one (by default there is an "Animal zone 1" or similar (don't know how it's called exactly in the english UI)),
or you can create a new one there by clicking "Manage areas..." and drag it like any area.
Then you can set the animals allowed areas in the "Animals" tab to that area.

Thank you!  That's what I was looking for.  I'll do it and let you know how it goes.  Thank you again!

Sorry i should have clarified what i meant by designation tool. That was exactly what i was telling you.
