With the exception of the "Convert" tool, what three ways can parking aprons/areas be added to the scenario?

The idea being tested is how you create parking apron footprints in the model without using a convert operation. You can add them by drawing the apron outline, by dimensioning it to exact sizes, or by defining it based on the aircraft that will use the space. Drawing creates the footprint from scratch, giving you direct control over the shape. Dimensioning fixes precise dimensions so the apron meets specific requirements. Defining by aircraft uses standard templates tied to aircraft dimensions (such as wingspan and required clearances) to automatically size the apron to accommodate the planned aircraft mix. The Convert tool isn’t used here, since it’s not about creating a new footprint. A definition by shape wouldn’t ensure the space aligns with aircraft-specific requirements, and drafting is essentially another term for drawing in many CAD contexts, so the best three ways are drawing, dimensioning, or defined by aircraft.
