Pro Tools
Pro Tools are a mechanic that allow players to quickly make massive changes to their house by manipulating a selected area. You can access these tools through their command aliases or through the upper left of the Housing Menu. The mechanic is inspired by WorldEdit, a well known tool used by many advanced builders.
Pro Tools can only be used if the right permissions are given by the house owner. To use them, the player must have permissions to build and use Pro Tools.
Usage
Pro Tools can be used through either their item or command. Tools that require a block will open a menu if none is specified through the command, and will always open a menu if the item tool is used. Once valid arguments are provided, the change will take effect immediately. Should one wish to undo their command, they can simply use the undo tool or the command /undo.
An advantage you may get by using commands with Pro Tools is that you can use the block variants used on Minecraft 1.8.9, like how planks:1 creates Spruce Planks. A list of these block IDs can be found on an external website such as this one. Another advantage to using commands is that you can specify multiple blocks seperated by a comma to randomly select between them.

Trivia
- Clearing your selection will naturally make tools unusable as you have no selected region, this includes the Paste Tool despite it not actually needing a region to paste into.
- The Pro Tools menu found in the Housing Menu refers to Pro Mode, a feature in Build Battle that Housing does not have. This is because Housing's Pro Tools are a fork of the ones used in Build Battle.
