: : Is it possible to stack another sector on another sector? I want to make a building that has a fat base, with a antigravity lift going up through the ceiling which is a skinnier part, then attack a wider sector on top of that. Is that possible and if so how do I got about doing that? Another thing, if I want a building with two floors, do I just cleave across that sector to create the top floor? And to get access to that top floor do I just cleave a opening in that floor? Thanks in advance.
I think I know what your getting at, first like a small room, then an anti-grav chute going straight up, to a big big room on top. This can be done (although in would be a pain in the ass if u needed to be able to get outside and see the building itself). Just make the bottom sector, cleave it up so u've got about a 3x3 sector going up the middle. Extrude the top surface of this sector and drag the top of the extrusion all the way up to where you want the other big sector. Insert the big sector and adjoin the pipe. voila, big, small, huge.
Also, if u want a building with 2 floors, you could do it that way, but the floor would look paper-thin when you went past (and also you'd need to set all of the floor/ceiling flags to geo4 and impassable). You'd get a better effect by cleaving it across twice (about .5 metre apart)and then claeve the really thin sector in the middle so that its got a hole in it. Then delete all of the thin middle sector apart from the hole. Hope this helps
