Nothing is building?

I just got this wonderful looking game and in the tutorial it has me make a wood cutters hut. Well when I click the hammer then go to click wood cutters hut noting happens. Like most builder games you get a lil box outline showing the size of the building and the box is either red (cant be placed) or green (good to place). When I go to do this (and ive clicked the chat along to where it is closed and I have a quest to the right saying build the hut and the wood to make it) I click on the hut hammer, basic and then the woodcutters hut but then no box appears at all the construction tabs close like once I left click on the hut. Am I missing something very simple here or is this a known bug?

Update* So it went to night time, I can now see 2 lil light green circles (no clear building model) and lil puffs of smoke, still unable to place anywhere tried clicking around on open ground for about 25-30 minutes and rotaiting (can tell its rotating because the buffs are moving in a circle as im holding down the keys). Also on trying sandbox and campaign mode it seems all buildings cant be placed and are invisiable ( campaign mode wood cutters thats already down is invisable )

You have to place a stockpile before building anything, you didn't mention that so I assume you already did that?

Once you see a green outline and click to build you need free villagers to build said building so if you don't have any free villagers nothing will be built, if you only have one villager it will take a long time. If you see smoke coming out of the ground but no building it most likely means you were successful in telling your people to build the building there but they have not actually built it yet- in this game the building kinda "spawns" underground and as your villagers "build the building" it moves from underground upwards to ground level, which means the smoke could be coming from underground hut not yet built.

Also, screen shots would help.

I'm having this same problem,...there is no building animation, so you can't see how your placing the object...no plop sounds, if any, and free workers don't recognize it's there..
