Steps

📸 [Placeholder: Staircase or ramped foundation grid]

Steps mode creates vertical stepping patterns — each item in your grid rises (or falls) by a set amount. Perfect for stairs, ramps, and tiered factory floors.

What is Steps?

Steps adds a vertical offset that accumulates across your grid:

• Step = 0.5m on X axis → Each column rises 0.5m higher than the previous
• Step = -1m on Y axis → Each row drops 1m lower than the previous

Controls

Action	Default Key	Description
Activate Steps	I (hold)	Enable steps mode
Increase Step	Scroll Up or NumPad 8 (while holding I)	More rise per item
Decrease Step	Scroll Down or NumPad 5 (while holding I)	Less rise per item
Cycle Axis	NumPad 0 (while holding I)	Switch X → Y

Step-by-Step Example

Building a Foundation Staircase

1. Select a foundation hologram
2. Scale to 8×1 (NumPad 8 seven times)
3. Hold I to enter steps mode
4. Scroll up to set 1m step
5. Release I and place

You now have an 8-foundation staircase rising 1m per step!

X vs Y Steps

• X Steps — Rise/fall along the width (columns)
• Y Steps — Rise/fall along the depth (rows)

Use NumPad 0 while holding I to switch between axes.

Common Step Values

Use Case	Suggested Step
Standard stairs	1m
Gentle ramp	0.5m
Steep ramp	2m
Half-foundation steps	0.5m

Tips

1. Combine with Spacing — Steps + Spacing = ramped rows with gaps
2. Use negative values — Create descending stairs
3. Match foundation height — 1m step = standard foundation height
4. Check the HUD — Step values display in real-time
5. Use Smart! Panel — Press K to type exact step values
