I use Constructor version 1.0.6. My items are in (root)/staticshapes. Constructor puts these in the Entities section. You use Entities for objects, not static shapes.

I hope this helped!

If you're on windows, go to this directory:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Torque\Constructor

It should look like this:


Drag and drop the staticshapes folder and entities.db included in the .zip file directly into that folder. When it asks you to merge or replace, hit yes.

Now, in Constructor (you will have to restart Constructor if you had it open when copying the stuff to your Constructor directory), hit the Create Entities button, located here:


And then after you click it, you should have a list of Marble Blast entities down below that menu.


Pick one, click anywhere to place the entity, then hit the Make button.

I have been attempting to do this as well, but the entities stubbornly refuse to show up under "Torque" after I restart Constructor.

System.out.println("Hello");

I found out what my problem was. Due to some constructor bugs, I had had to reinstall it in a different location about a year ago, so my path was C:\Constructor.

System.out.println("Hello");
