Finding your way around

Catalogue on the left, your rooms in the middle, the settings of what you picked on the right. Everything else sits in one toolbar.

The screen

The Interior Builder has three columns under one toolbar:

The middle of the builder: the 3D view of the Corner Cafe from the quick start.
  • Left: the Furniture catalogue with search and categories. See the prop catalogue.
  • Middle: your rooms in 3D, as a 2D plan or in Walk. Drag to turn the camera, scroll to zoom, right-drag to pan.
  • Right: what you work on. With Furnish it is the selected prop, with Rooms the selected room, with Stairs the staircases. Below that are Stats (rooms, floor area, furniture) and Shortcuts.

The builder sits on its own page below a short intro. Fullscreen in the toolbar, or F, shows it alone on the whole screen; Exit takes you back.

The toolbar

The toolbar runs across the top of the builder, in three parts. On the left, the design and how you look at it:

  1. 1. Design name: also names the resource
  2. 2. Ground, + Floor
  3. 3. 3D, 2D plan, Walk
  • Design name

    The name of the design. It also names the resource and the teleport command. Only shown when you are signed in.
  • Ground, + Floor

    One tab per floor, and a button to add a floor on top. See floors and stairs.
  • 3D, 2D plan, Walk

    The three views, also on the keys 1, 2 and 3.

In the middle, the tools and undo:

  1. 1. Furnish, Rooms, Stairs
  2. 2. Fine: 0.1 m steps, 15 degree turns
  3. 3. Undo, Redo
  • Furnish

    Place and edit props. See placing props.

  • Undo, Redo

  • Remove all furniture

On the right, saving, sharing and building:

  1. 1. Saved: saves on its own while you work
  2. 2. Version history
  3. 3. AI Furnish: fills the rooms from a description
  4. 4. Build interior: the price is on the button
  • Save

  • Fullscreen

  • Help

    Guided tour and Quick reference.

Build interior is at the far right

The whole toolbar needs a window about 1,650 px wide. In a narrower one it is cut off on the right; below about 1,530 px, for example on a 1440 or 1366 px laptop screen, Build interior is cut off too. Press Fullscreen or F.

3D, 2D plan and Walk

  • 3D

    Furnishing and looking at the rooms from any side. Drag to turn, scroll to zoom.
  • 2D plan

    The floor plan from straight above, to line things up. Drag to pan, scroll to zoom.
  • Walk

    Walking through at eye height, the way it will look in game.
The Corner Cafe in the 2D plan.

In Walk, press Click to start. Then WASD or the arrow keys move you, Shift runs, the mouse looks around and Esc stops. The walls block you like they will in game.

  1. 1. Click to start

Saving and your designs

  • Signed in: the design saves to your account a few seconds after every change. The name field in the toolbar names it.
  • Not signed in: the design stays in this browser only. Sign in to save and Sign up to build take its place in the toolbar.
  • A build always uses the saved design; the builder saves it for you before it starts.

When you open the builder with saved designs, Welcome back lists them. Continue opens the last one, New design starts an empty room, and the older designs offer Open, Rename, Duplicate and Delete. A BUILT badge marks designs you have built.

  1. 1. Continue: opens the last design
  2. 2. New design

Version history

The clock button in the toolbar lists older states of the design, newest first:

  • AUTO: snapshots taken while you work.
  • CHECKPOINT: versions you saved with Checkpoint, with a name if you gave one.
  • BUILD: the exact state of each build.
  1. 1. Checkpoint: save a named version
  2. 2. BUILD: the exact state of a build

Click a version to load it. The current state is saved first, so loading an old version never loses anything.
