Current GuideDifficulty: BeginnerLast updated: September 19, 2026

What this guide covers

The Build Camera is more than a convenient way to see a construction from above. Used deliberately, it can make positioning, navigation and detailed building much easier.

  • Moving around a build without constantly repositioning your character.
  • Improving visibility and access while placing parts.
  • Using the camera to make awkward construction areas easier to work with.
  • Practical workflow tricks for faster, cleaner building.

The video above demonstrates each use in-game.
