How to Place Decorations

Sadly the images for this guide have been broken for a while. I need to update the hooks links too. – Swtorista

Hook Editor

To access hooks, click on the “Edit Mode” on the Strongholds Toolbar.

Right click on the hook and the “Decorations” tab will show available decorations that fit on the hook. You can sort the items, but there is not a search function.

Hooks are color coded by size. All hooks are square except Floor Medium Narrow and Wall Large. Hooks of the same size share the same dimensions or area.

Click on the links to see decorations that fit on the indicated sizes.

Floor Covering Hooks (Yellow Light)

Floor Covering

The Floor Covering is unusual in that the item is placed under the other hooks and doesn’t have a specific shape. This is the only hook where you can place multiple items in the same space.

Floor Hook Layouts

There are a number of Hook Layouts available to choose from depending on how large the area you are decorating is.

You can change the hook layout of an area through the Edit Mode menu “Layouts” tab. Areas that fit the Starship or Floor Covering cannot be changed. Ceilings and areas that only fit Small layouts also cannot be changed.
