Plan Build - Help

[sheap]

Hello,
Is there any way to move the camera up and down in the plan Build Station Menu so I can zoom on the top part of my station ?

I am building vertical station and so far the only way i found to put module on top is to dezoom the camera but it's wonky since I can 't really zoom on the highest part of my station.

WASD keys will allow you to move forward, sideways and backwards.
Rt click on empty space within the build area and drag will change the camera angle.
The + and - keys will zoom in or out.

Thanks but i am aware of all these keys, so no way to move upward or downward?

If you point your camera up and move forward, you will be going up ;)

Hi thanks for help but no solution worked here :/
Here's a resume :

1) If I point my camera up and go forward I stil move on the X/Z plane, no change on Z level.

2) If i point my camera up and dezoom, I'll be able to place camera Lower than 0. Z level but it will still stop zooming on the same Y level (0)

3) (The one I actually use) If i point my camera down and dezoom, I'll be able to place camera upper than 0. Z level but as i said in my previous messages, the movement became very clunky/fast/unprecise on high Z level

TLDR : The focus of the zoom is always set on 0. Z level plane; still looking for a way to move it along the Z axe.

I think you mean Y axis but I'm with you on controls. X-Z is the horizontal plane on the map.

If you are trying to plan a bunch of stuff then maybe try building the new modules ioff a free node or space if there is any and then either copying sequence and placing or just moving it all if you don't want to backup the design until ready to confirm the build.

Yup you're right i Meant Y axis,
Thanks for the inputs, instead of a free need i m just gonna build upper part on lower Yaxis and then will be moving them up instead of finishing building directly on the top (Docks are always on bottom), should be a nice workaround while waiting for a command, thanks.

This is a problem for me too
