Title: Have trouble with making hallways.
Post by: MrFish on June 02, 2009, 08:58:12 pm: It's very basic but I can't for the love of me find how to make hallways (or doors). There was a tutorial on it but it said use the clipping tool and that takes out huge chunks of my block. I'm making a castle with one of those big doors that folds up into the castle. So how do I cut out a door shape into the castle? Should I split the castle into pieces or can I just make a hole in my large block?

Edit: Nevermind, I think I'll use the split cut thing.

A good man learns from his own mistakes.
A better man learns from others mistakes.
But only an idiot learns from the governments mistakes.

You can split the wall into multiple pieces to make the doorway. Make a piece to the left and a piece to the right that are the entire height, leaving a gap in the middle the width of the doorway you want, then make a piece starting from the top of the wall going down as far as you want the height of the doorway to be. Hallways would just be connected doorways.

If you'd just explain how, I wouldn't have to explain the way I do it - apparently the wrong, more complicated way.

Maybe less complicated but also worse.
