Wall Control Tool
A drafting compass button in the Wall Controls Foundry section opens Wall Control menu. It displays as a menu attached to the hotbar's position, and displays all tools included in the module. Selecting a tool hides the Wall Control menu, and displays a hint bar with keybindings, or wall-type carousel where applicable. Right click/Escape discards your current work with the tool, or undoes the last step. Wall Control menu can be closed by pressing the drafting compass button again, or X on the menu itself.
The Radial Menu
Hold the keybind (Default W) while in Wall Controls Foundry section to display the Radial Menu. It contains four categories (Toggles, Walling, Editing, Presets) just like the Wall Control menu, and is an alternate control scheme. All tools work exactly the same between the two menus.
