Stairs/rails

[Benvdog]

Hello, i just made a house, and i need to have stairs and rails though. And i can't find them in the F1 item list. Are they in there or do i have to download something for them? Because i seen them on the defualt maps.

For stairs you can just hold g and scroll 1 down, than you can use it as stairs, and rails you have 2 make 2, I think you better use the smallest brusher (still g and scroll)

Just make rows of blocks how ever long you want your stairs to be, each row having a extension where the higher row will be placed. With rails just decrease your grid size and make one line of blocks on both ends of your rows going straight up, each line of blocks will be higher than the previous, do this to every row. Next select the top cube of your rail and use q to bend it forwards, as with every cube that follows. Hope that helped, I'll try to post pictures to further help you when I get the chance and remember the g and q keys are your friends.

I also want to point out that if you're an experienced mapper you'll also use the f key for precision stairs and ladders.

Ok, i figured the g scroll almost right when i posted this. What does f do?
And i have another question. Is it possible to make diagnal lines, or spheres?

Just download this map, and copy the shapes, use g key to change the size.

yep, hold g and scroll to change the size

Diagonal lines are very possible. Just use square cubes going diagonally and use q to fold down the sides

f when used properly, can 'push' small sections of a cube back, little by little. I haven't yet explored everything it could be used for...

I actually used it 2 make ramps, 2 make ladders, 2 make stairs, and 2 make round stuff (doors and sorta ball things), is there anything else it can be used for?

Benvdog let me know if you want cylinder shaped rails, i can whip up a map and send it your way.
