Function Panel:
Function Panel is the window that opens in the center of the screen, from which you'll be able to spawn objects that you have in your Steam Inventory, manage permissions if you're the host and etc.

  • Just a Guy - Pressing it will open Steam Overlay and open host's Steam profile page.
  • Floppy Disk - Pressing it will save all objects in the Lounge for the next time you come back to the Lounge. However, it wont save objects spawned by the visitors and this button only works for the host.

If you want to do 3D models, you'd have to learn how to use one of 3D modelling programs, one for example would be free program called Blender.

It's firewall sign, it works if your router supports UPnP, if so, it tries to open ports automatically. I'm going to improve this feautre in future.
