Box
Overview
The box tool is so nice that you can easily create a simple level with only this tool. You can create boxes successively on any surfaces, which will be merged with the existing geometry very well without producing unnecessary and invisible faces. Moreover if this tool is used with the snapping on, making a level which consists of uniform blocks will be far easier.
