Remove a wall...

Kinda new to base building and was trying a "light in the wall" effect with a torch I think. Thought it looked cool how the light appeared to becoming from inside the wall. Now I don't want the wall anymore but can't take it down. Any suggestions or fixes for this?

Check up on the top right when you're in item laying mode, and when you click the square the wall is on. It'll show a little layered chart, just click to remove whichever layers you want.

I don't think that will work if there is an item obstructing or imbedded in the wall.

What I usually do is scroll my camera out and angle it from underneath the floor of the base in edit mode. Then select the offending item and delete it.

If that fails, I usually go into the "current room" tab (you need to be standing in the affected room), scroll through the mass of crap until I find the offending item, and "sell" (delete) it from there.

A note about the "current room" tab: it adds items to the end of the bar/list as you add them to the room... So it's kinda time-related. If you placed something early on in your decorating, it will appear at the beginning of the bar/list. If you *just* placed something, it will appear at the end of the bar/list. If you know you placed a few other things within the same time frame, you can look for the same "group" of items to find the one you need.

Hope that helps a little.

Woot. That worked! Didn't even think about looking under the base. Had a wall torch and 2 floor lamps in there. Looked really cool, but so annoying that I couldn't break the wall down.
Thanks so much! And thanks to all that replied. Also had a few piles of dirt in the way as well.
