PREFAB & GALLERY UPDATES

Important Note: We’ve noticed recently that over time a number of devices have been tagged incorrectly or not tagged with all the applicable categories, resulting in the Filter list in the Device Gallery being less than helpful in some cases. In this release we have gone through and ensured that all devices are now tagged correctly, and even added a couple of new Filter categories to pull devices into logical groups which will hopefully make things a lot easier to find. We know that this might upset muscle-memory for some people who have been using Creative for a long time, but hopefully the overall benefits of having everything tagged and filtered logically will outweigh any temporary confusion. Thanks for your patience.
Added a rainbow flag to General Props Gallery A.

PREFAB & GALLERY FIXES

Fixed an issue that caused the shipping container from Industrial Gallery B to appear white and grey.
Fixed an issue with the Sloped Glass gallery pieces that prevented players from placing the gallery in specific directions.
