	Bendy Rails are placed similarly to other joints, snapping onto the sides of any solid, thick-layer objects. Unlike other joints, however, they can be placed on their own with nothing supporting them.

	When creating a new rail, pressing {{button\|cross}} places a new node at the [[Popit Cursor]]'s location, {{button\|l1}} and {{button\|l2}} move the current node through the layers — out and in respectively — while pressing {{button\|triangle}} deletes the most recently placed node. To commit the rail into the scene, either attach the last node to a physical object, or simply press {{button\|circle}} to back out. Modifications to existing rails can be made using the Rail Editor tool.
