Hey mate, can you elaborate on what is happening when you use the build menu?
Is there no building item ghost showing up when you click on build ?
Normally in order to build you need to be an engineer and have completed your engineer training at the duty officer by pressing the "6" key then selecting engineer. You also need to have a shovel in your pistol slot.
A tip to check this is working correctly is pressing the N key then select any item to build. On the right hand menu it will list requirements to be met in order to build, if anything is in red then a requirement isnt met.
