The Elevator Editor

The Elevator Editor is an interface into the inner workings of Skyscraper's elevator system, and is very elaborate.
Use this window to modify and operate the simulator's elevators directly.
On the top left, the Number bar selects the elevator number. Right below it is the Floor bar, which selects the floor (and shows the ID of the floor also).
Control Section:
Call: call elevator to current floor
Go: go directly to specified floor
Open: open elevator doors
Close: close elevator doors
Open Manual: manually open elevator doors
Close Manual: manually close elevator doors
Enqueue Up: queues the selected floor on the specified elevator in the Up direction
Enqueue Down: queues the selected floor on the specified elevator in the Down direction
Select Current Elevator selects the elevator the user is currently riding in.
Chime plays the chime sound at the currently selected floor.
Modes:
ACP Mode: anti-crime prevention, causes the elevator to stop at a specified floor before continuing
Up/Down Peak: sends elevators to the bottom or top of the assigned floors, to prioritize peak times
Independent service: enables or disables independent service
Inspection service: enables or disables inspection service
Fire Phase 1 can either be Off, On, or Bypass
Fire Phase 2 can either be Off, On or Hold.
The Visible checkbox determines if the elevator should be visible. The Run checkbox turns on and off the elevator.
Manual specifies the direction of manual movement, mostly for Inspection Service mode. To operate inspection mode, first enable it, and then click Go, and either Up or Down.
