House Customization

The House Customization window is the designer that opens while you edit a house. It lists the walls, doors, floors, stairs, roofs, teleporters and other pieces that you can build with, and you choose a piece here before you place it in the world.

Each tab holds one kind of piece. Under it, each category has a heading, with the pieces of that category in rows below. A category you may look at but not build from has its heading in red, and a piece in it explains why when you click it. The foot of the window shows how many components and fixtures the design holds, with the most it may hold, and what the design costs.

House Customization, walls — The Walls tab. The first category is red, because the account cannot build from it. The foot reads the design's components, fixtures and cost on the left, with the buttons for the whole design on the right.
