warmer Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 Ya why the hell didn't I try this sooner! I was building a huge set of stairs and thought, "can I split the block shapes into what you need instead of switching shapes in the menu?" So ya, I am probably 1000 ish hours late to this party, but wow, what a QOL life thing lol 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So ya, I am probably 1000 ish hours late to this party, but wow, what a QOL life thing lol Yeah, that can be really useful. In one game, I wanted to build a tunnel through a hill but I wasn't very good at making it straight and ended up with it at about a 60 degree angle instead of straight. That meant using a combination of angle blocks and squares to do the walls, floor and ceiling. Having these in separate stacks really saved time.

Hattrix22 Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 What they need to do is allow a keyboard mapping to scroll through our shape SAVED FAVORITES. Maybe shift + R (when the shape is in your hot bar and highlighted) you can scroll through them instead of holding down R, clicking on shapes, clicking on Favorites, clicking on the shape, hitting ESC ....... UGH, too many steps to switch shapes ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't use favorites, so I'd prefer to keep it that way. Copy shape / rotation is awesome, once you have one of the things you want in your build, you can just duplicate it from there ..

stample Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 I just realized last night that tapping shift, rather than holding it down, works for vehicles too! My poor left pinky is rejoicing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
