Platforms roofs and walls

I'm glad you put this "out there". I have run into the same problem. I am building a house with a few different levels, and it is SO tricky. I finally skipped the roof thing altogether - I will fix it at the end. I also discovered that if I wanted to have decorative platforms on top of a regular platform, I had to draw walls the size of the decor, then select that piece separately and raise it above the rest. I also found that sometimes when I select just one platform to adjust, all the other platforms adjust, too. And don't even get me started with platforms and stairs. I really like having this tool, but dang - they made it so hard to use!!

To avoid this problem (walls and ceilings erasing), just use the room tool to build your platforms inside houses instead of the new platform tool. The room tool has the new up/down arrows for platforms so you can use that instead. Build your "room" and use the new up/down arrows to raise or lower a platform, and then delete any walls you don't want around the platform.

The reason why the platform tool is erasing walls and ceilings/roofs is because the game is reading the platform as a new room... and a platform has no walls or ceilings, thus this new "room" won't either. But if you use the room tool instead, any existing walls/ceilings will stay put.

In a nutshell: Use the platform tool outside, use the room tool inside.

@AncientMuse I'm not sure what the room tool has to do with anything but build the platform outside and move it inside to avoid the issue, worked perfectly. Thanks!

And they've known since AUGUST they were problematic and decided to just release it anyway.

If you use the room tool to build a platform inside of a house instead of the platform tool, you won't have the problem of the walls/roofs disappearing. No need to build a platform outside and then move it into the house. Just use the room tool inside instead of the platform tool.

Okay, I see what you're saying. I didn't realize all floors worked just like platforms. But placing a room - I still have to delete the walls so I'm still probably going to create the platforms outside. Thanks for the tips/tricks though.

I hope they fix this because it's a bug and or error and it makes building tiny homes impossit xD This is why I have a cracked version right here it's not worth my money if they don't take us seriously and we have to constantly find workarounds

I have had similar issues, I usually just draw a fence around where I want the new platform to be then raise it.

Anyone else have a problem when you raise one platform it causes a platform attached but in a different room to sink several levels? I was attempting a build but adjusting the room heights over and over because they kept glitching was too much, I had to ditch it.
