Railing Button Panel

Description
Elevators are all the rage these days, we here at AVTech are feeling the itch as well. The challenge is getting some sort of controls on your shiny new contraption that definitely won't explode (not that we have any experience with that!). Well, we have made a tremendous innovation! A button panel that attaches to railings! Railing on catwalks, freestanding railings, it doesn't matter (it sort of matters those solid catwalks don't play well)! Not only that but they won't add any friction to your elevator car, how's that for innovation!

----------

Adds 2 large grid block button panels:

One that seamlessly attaches to the back of another block (looks best with railings and grated catwalks with railings. They do not have any physics so they won't cause any extra collision problems.

One that is a 1x1 Window with buttons on it. The are together in one block since the 'trick' used for the one above would not work in a reasonable way for a solid block such as a window. Collision is a bit smaller than the block to allow a better experience.

Buttons have LCDs on them.

just go to the search tab and look up button panel and you should be able to find it

Where can I find this block in the build menu? I have searched for using all the criteria I can think of. I also searched manually. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

could you make an LCD version of this? could use it to label things that are behind the railings. like at a museum, or industrial center

Why this isn't an ingame item, I will never understand

This is a nice and creative mod! It looks very useful! Thanks for developing this for us, @AViegarien! I like your mods!

Yes, thanks, it turned out to weld on the corner display. It's really funny)
It is a pity that for this you need to stand behind the block - it is impossible to assemble in front of the finished block.
I would like to have a block like with a window, but without a window - only button panel with LCD without dependence on the railing or other blocks (yeah, as in the DLC).

In any case, thank you for a good mod!

It does look a little funny, but you can also attach it to the back of a Corner Light or Corner LCD. I can look at making a version that visually attaches to more vanilla blocks. I can't say when I'd get to more blocks for this, but I'll put it and an LCD variant on my todo list.

Hello!
I like this mod, but I can't find what I can set the button bar without the window. I do not have a DLC with a railing, and it is not installed on the fence.
Which vanilla block can I use for this?

This is exactly what I needed to complete my build. Thank you!
