Revision as of 01:13, 30 October 2007

I'm trying to figure out stairs, but can't. I thought this would be a very important topic to start.

How do I erase "down stairs" and "up stairs"? There is an option for one, but not the other.

I'm also trying to figure out ramps.

Looks to me like the "remove down stairs" option is missing. But if you rewall it (b - C - w), and then designate it for "Remove Construction" (d - n), that works to get rid of it. Or just rewall it and leave it as a wall. --Peristarkawan 20:44, 29 October 2007 (EDT)
