Construction

The rotation of beams can be adjusted by scrolling before placing them. They also have a customizable length. Their build cost increases by 2×  Steel Beam for every additional 4 meters, and can be extended up to 40 meters (for example, a beam 5 meters long will cost 4  Steel Beams). Beams, their supports and connectors all have soft clearance.

Beams can snap to other beams, allowing continuous chains of beams to be built. Walls and Architectural structures can be built onto beams.

The color of  Painted Beams can be customized using the Customizer. The primary swatch color will be used.  Metal Beams cannot be customized this way.
