What's The Use Of Editing Buildings
Editing buildings allows you to customize the structures you have built. The changes can be practical to get the Victory Royale, or for aesthetic - let your imagination run wild!
Edit Buildings For Your Convenience
Create Windows To Give You Vision
Creating a window on your wall will provide you a means of spotting and shooting down enemies. It can also help provide you with some cover so that other players won't be able to hurt you back!

How To Edit Buildings
Editing may look like a tedious task, but as soon as you get the hang of it, you'll be editing structures on the fly! With practice, you can even learn how to edit structures in the middle of a build battle!
