I'm building a house, how can I add a second floor?

Im confused, and I can't find an option for that. Can someone help me? Also, I placed a trapdoor. I wanna build under my cabin but I can't find a way to do so.
Another thing that I can't find is how to toggle the roof

Yes, you build a house with multiple floors, yes you can place trap doors, and yes you can add a roof. It's best to join us on our Discord so we can discuss this a little more easily. https://discord.gg/DungeonAlchemist

I did create a topic there. Could you please tell me where can I add a second a floor or a basement?

Did you ask about the up and down floors? If that's you, did you look at the link I posted?

From what I see, you can do it manually for now until it's implemented in a future update.

Create your first floor then turn the collision off and manually place floors at the level you want and fill out the rest.

*sigh... No. I was merely trying to avoid answering the same question on two different forums.

Not everyone is on Discord. Having the information in a couple different places could enlighten a whole slew of others also not on Discord.

Point taken, but Steam is harder to create tutorials and this can get rather detailed. I don't know how to do this without creating a wall of text. I'll try, though. Let's see how it works. Our next update, Fun with Objects, will introduce new levels to the app so this'll be a lot easier. No ETA on the update, though. I'm going to see if I can grab the text from the Discord and paste here.

The best thing to do is perhaps watch a tutorial online, there are several. Also learning the basics of building in DA is not only helpful, but necessary. Basically, construct a room and manually "stack" free standing on the walls you built. Use the height slider on the left of the selected object as needed, and use several views to ensure proper placement. The floor/ceiling is created by raising a platform object (I like stone ones, but wood works too. Just a flat plane basically. Abstract with an image even better, but drains computer resources if you use many of them). Use the shift key to copy as you place to speed it up, and CTRL to snap to grid even better. If use the copy/paste method with objects, the height modifier remains. I uploaded a few walls to the workshop that might help with wall building
