2. Watch out! There are some objects that look like walls - like in the 'Divider' category in Mapmaker, but to delete or edit these, you'll have to be in the main 'Furniture' section, and not in the 'Walls' section of Mapmaker.


✨ Have a look at some examples below! These objects may look like walls, but they're actually in the 'Dividers' area :)
