(Please note that closing CyBlox program saves your current construction.)
Green square holds elements that you can place in your construction area.
Area between blue and green areas holds elements before placing them in your construction. Here you can modify your elements. Bottom left of the screen is your monitor. Here you can track your elements, view help, and name your creation.
The white dot in the middle of the blue area represents your position in the scene. You can move it like any other element in your construction, but you can't move it outside of your construction area or remove it from your scene.

- To place the element in the construction area, drag and drop its button into the blue area.
You can't place one element on top of another.

To change castle's interior, first click on the blue arrow in the EditBox. This will take you to the screen where you will be able to add elements inside of the castle. Group of buttons in the middle of the screen represents castle's floors viewed from the top. Each square is a block that you can change. You can change which floor you view by clicking buttons right above monitor. To add element inside castle click on the element you'd like to add. Button below the castle in the middle of the screen changes color and letter to represent selected item. Now click on the buttons inside the castle. This is where your element will be placed. To remove item from the castle, just click the button that "holds" the item that you'd like to remove. Some elements (like torch) are displayed on one wall of the block. In case like this you can select on which side of the wall to place the element by clicking on "-" sign, just little bit off of the side of selected item button. Side of the block you selected will be indicated by the "+" sign.
