Grid vs Non-Grid Building: Grid pieces snap perfectly; non-grid items are for freeform creativity. Combine both for precision and realism.
Angle Snap Mastery: Turn angle snap off for custom rotation (press X), and on for clean 15° steps — useful for pillars and fences.
The Mud Pillar Trick: Use the mud pillar (centered on grid) to build perfectly round roofs, fences, or towers. Rotate using CTRL+D + Z.
Merge & Split Scenery Groups: Group scenery items like rocks or decorations to duplicate faster. Use split selection to clean up any unwanted items.
Quick Lighting While Building: Working at night? Press L for an instant builder light. No need to place scenery lights anymore.
Unconnected Shops Still Work: As long as guests and vendors can reach them, shops don’t need a physical path connection. Creative freedom!
Bend the Fences Your Way: Use a fence type that allows bending, shape it, then replace with the desired fence like electric or mesh.
Perfect Path Slope Control: In path settings, set elevated length to 0.5m for detailed control over slopes and viewing galleries.
Recolor Faux Rocks Efficiently: Group & recolor rocks once, then duplicate them to keep the color. Saves tons of time in tropical and arctic builds.
