DeleD Community Edition

[dirkk]

In a nutshell: you draw your map as a polyline, extrude only the outer walls and flip the whole thing.

In detail:

- select polyline
- create a polyline as a floorplan

- copy and paste the polyline, so that you have a spare second one
- drag this copy down a bit in the side view window (so you won't be confused)

- select polyline0 in object mode, go to polygon mode
- hit 'Flip' in the edit commands, hit 'ok' at bottom right

- go to edge mode, and hit 'Extrude' in the edit commands
- select one of the outer lines in the top view with shift
- select all other outer lines with ctrl-shift until all outer lines are selected (this can be hard)
- drag the walls up in the side view

- now you can take the copy polygon01 and make it the roof

[EDIT] oh, and btw: I don't know at all how you did all that? Thanks for supplying the dmf file - I'll check it out. I hope I understand .

[granada]

that's right, back to topic:

as I can see, after doing the polyline thing, you insetted and extruded these cooridors, then added an also insetted and extruded box to form the 'cellar'?

Actually I have a question: Let's say you have two boxes, inset the walls that face each other - what would be the best way to connect these? I tried to connect the vertices but that didn't work out.

Maybe it's 'weld' but I have to test more ....
