Sun/Moon: use this to see what your lot looks like in different lighting throughout the day.Bulldozer: use to clear a lot of the structures or landscaping on it.Crossed Arrows: use these to pick up a whole room or lot and move it around.Folder: save the room or the lot to your library or to share it in the user gallery with other players.Right Arrow: redo actions you have undone.Left Arrow: undo your previous actions.Design Tool: click on this then click on an item to see other colors or patterns available for it.Eyedropper: use to quickly get a duplicate of an item without having to search for it.Arrow: select to pick up or move an item.There is also a little box on there that is very useful-click it and you get a birds-eye view of the lot from above.

The square/hexagon/cube button changes the view of the walls in a building, just like in live mode.

Clicking these will allow you to go to the top of a building (all the way up to the roof), or down to the basements (if there are any).

The photo symbols will open the library and the user gallery.ДЄ few of these tools are useful for building, starting with the up and down arrows.
