Re: Build Mode: Room Shape Disappears when "hiding" a wall

That is exactly what I was referring to. Just wasnt sure how to describe it. Basically I would use a faux inner room around the tops of stairs so I could remove the floor and have a vaulted stairwell. My case is am I suppose to see "hide wall" instead of remove? If so, then I dont. I have make half wall and make fence.

    @HeliosTheGamer I just made several open stairwells and didn't run into the issues in my game that you described. The ways I remove the walls I don't give me the terms 'hide wall' or 'delete wall'? I replace or use the wall/fence tool while holding control in order to delete or replace the walls &/or fencing when making the open top of the stairwell.

    I've made a video of how I create a stairwell normally, plus I then I also created an outer 'room/building' afterward, in case this is what you were having an issue with. Please see if what my build mode tools in the game are doing is or is not behaving like the build mode tools.

    @HeliosTheGamer Thanks for checking in and letting us know. I look forward to hearing more details Thursday or Friday, then. 🙂

  • @SheriGR You video shows the same issue I was having, but the solution or workaround was nice to see. I used to just place the stairs, draw a room shape on the upper floor I want, then remove the floor and remove or swap the walls. Seems like something changed and that's what confused me.
