Glass Elevators
You can specify whether the elevators have a glass cab, glass doors, both of them, or neither of them. In the future I may streamline the creator to have glass depending on what side of the cab it’s on.
Stairs/Escalator editor
- Stairs: mainly used for emergencies, can serve any range of floors.
- Escalators: can be placed on any floor, and it goes only to the floor above it. For example, if you want it to serve floors 5-6, place the escalator on floor 5.
