## Details (X)

The Details tool has four tabs. `R` turns a detail before you place it (`Shift + R` by 15°) and you drag a placed one to move it.

Wall details snap flat against the nearest wall and into the corner. Line details (railings, fences, hedges, half walls, beams and glass walls) are drawn with two clicks, like a wall.
