Wall System
Any angle and curved walls — the standout feature! Press G to toggle grid; hold Alt for precise free placement. Beginners: keep grid on until comfortable.
Doors & Windows
Doors resize and flip direction. Windows drag to adjust width and height. Curtains and blinds match window size. Arched doors are more flexible than standard doors — width and height are adjustable.
Furniture System
Recolor almost any furniture with the color wheel. Scale tables, sofas, beds, and more. Hold Shift while placing to duplicate — great for matching sets. Advanced: flip/scale wall art as rugs.
Stairs & Roofs
Stairs adjust in width and length. Roof styles: gable, hip, and flat — shapes auto-fit to your wall layout.
Pro Builder Tips
- Plan layout before turning off the grid.
- Sculpt terrain first, then place plants (avoids rework).
- Design by zones, not room-by-room.
- Grass and flowers no longer clip through walls.
