Placing walls and floor pieces (help)

Post » Mon Jun 18, 2012 12:25 am

Hi, I just started playing around with the CK and very pleased with how familiar it is so far with other game kits (particularly NWN Aurora kit) but I have a small issue placing new textures.

Doing the tutorial dungeon "Lokir's Tomb" as per the video and the Wiki, when I go to place a new wall or floor piece it places it where my camera is and not in line with the previous pieces already in the window like in the video, Which means i have to hit "e" and lower it to the correct level then slide it into place.

Am I missing something that will automatically place object at 0 hieght when I drag it into the window?

It's not a major issue just an annoyance to have to either zoom all the way down to floor level or drag each piece down after placing it.

Thanks for any help.

Ok I figured this out, when dragging the new piece do not release it in open space but releasing it on the edge of an existing piece will snap it to the correct height.

If the piece is at the improper height relative to the other pieces, drag it on top of one of the pieces at the proper height, make sure the piece is selected and press "F" on your keyboard.
This will drop the piece to the Z position of the piece it was on top of.
