this kinda makes me laughā€¦ the cause is most likely due to how buildings ā€œmergeā€ together when theyā€™re still ghosts, but it probably shouldnā€™t be merging with completed buildingsā€¦

Maybe some sort of ā€˜cuttingā€™ tool is needed? I for one would love to be able to cut an archway into a wall instead of being forced to use a door.

This is also a problem if you click Undo in the planner after two separate ghost plans are connected with a wall.

edit: now that Iā€™m not on my phone Iā€™ll clarify a bit; if youā€™re building, say, an archway, in the planner, and you plot out each separate column on the arch, then connect them, then realize you did it wrong and click ā€œundoā€, one of the two entire columns will go POOF

Thanks for the reports! Investigatingā€¦
