Tool Use

The "Build Walls" tool is used to build upper walls known as "lintels" to change the overall layout of a house, and allow for the placement of doors. By holding down left click (default) anywhere on the ceiling or against a wall a loading bar in the shape of a circle will steadily fill until the wall is completely constructed, which can be interrupted at any time.

Additional Notes

• Most jobs do not require this tool with a few exceptions who want a different layout.
• Lintels cannot be placed directly against windows or fixtures like ventilation.
• Though windows an exterior doors can be placed within a full exterior wall, interior doors can only be placed within spaces defined by lintels. Most doors are the width of 3 or 4 wall/lintel pillars wide.
• Before constructing a lintel pillar, you will see an example of how the final pillar will look. You can double check its location by looking on the minimap, where your "example lintel" will be blue.
  • Completed lintels are always in white on the minimap, and have a slash (\\\) pattern to differentiate them from walls).
• The default cost for each lintel pillar is $1.40 USD.
