Stupid Question: How do I make an angled block?

[Inyo]

Have +50 hours into the game, and enjoy it, I really like that I can make automated ships to go mine and do other things however, the building is so very non-intuitive.  I cannot make a ship that does not look like a shoe box. 

 

I have watched numerous videos on youtube about ship building and they always seem to have other things such as angled blocks showing up on their build menus than what I have.  How did they make them appear? 

 

Please someone tell me what button I have to press to make a block something that is angled.

If a block has edge and corner variants, then here is how you select them:

1. Open the block menu (G).

2. Find a block that has a plus symbol + , such as the blank hull, neon, or armor. Select it.

3. Now you have options for the shape at the *bottom of the block menu.*

 

Most blocks don’t have corner and edge variants—usually the internal items like shield generators and crew quarters. I can send a picture if you need one. The videos you see are probably using a past version of the game, which had a very different-looking build menu.
